Ok fam here it is iam not real good at math so take it easy guys. i have made a muti bulb fixture. i have one 70 watt hps and 1 250 watt hps 1 175 watt mh 1 cfl 42 watts at 3000k and 1cfl 23 watts at 3000k now thats 560 watts in all. now my flowering space is 5x2 but i am only using 2x2 of that 5x2 .so you x's the 2x2 you get 4 ok you / the 4 by 560 and you get 140 per sq foot. now for the lumens 250 hps at 28500/ 175 mh at 13500/70 hps at 9000/42 cfl at 2900/ 23 cfl at 1650. in all that's 55550 now you /4 and you get 13887.5 per foot is this right and is this over kill for the 2x2 space
 
:eek: yeah you could say thats a tad overkill. The 250W HPS alone would do the 2'X2' just fine.. All you need is 50W of HID per sq.ft. foot or 6,000 Lumens wprth of flos per sq. ft.
I don't know how you fit all that in 2'X2' but could not even imagine the temps you got going on in there.
 
yea mutt i tought you would hit me up the temps were getting up there i used a 2foot tote lid and put the sockets tought the lid i have the ballsts out side of the room and two computer fans in the lid. i have a 4foot 4blub t8 in the veg room do you think i should use the t8 4 the cuttings and use the 175 mh in the veg room.
