SI-B8V521B20WW - 1x2mt table - indoor commercial grow
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2019 4:53 pm
Hello everyone,
i am been reading this site's build guide but i don't really fit into the 3x3 or 4x4 builds so i thought it would be better to ask for advice here.
i am setting up a flower room with 20 hydroponic tables, grodan slabs and drippers. their size is 1x2 meters
My aim is to cover the area with 4' strips as i'd like the light to overhang slightly on the sides since some of the plants will grow close to the table's edge, hence i selected SI-B8V521B20WW strips due to their price/performance ratio.
Now, in order to achieve even values between 800 and 1000PPFD during flowering i have no precise idea how many strips and how close they should be to each other, remaining as cost effective as possible.
Any advice is welcome
p.s. i understand from the guide 3'x3' requires circa 270w while 4'x4' requires around 500w, so i should stay around 800w totally per table?
