Lighting for a 5x9 grow tent

[Chronichawk]

Would 2 600wt hps or 2 1000wt variable ballast work, 1 1000 hps be enough for that area?
Also should I go with 3gal or 5gal pots for that size tent..thanks for any help

Sup Hawk, to 420.The 2 600 watt would be better then 1000 watt as far as light coverage.

2 1000 watt units would be good. 5 by 9 = 45 square feet, at 50 watts per square foot = a need for 2250 watts so that's about as close as you can get.

I have a 4 by 8 tent, and it'll have 2 1000 watt lights = 62.5 watts / square foot.

Appropriate the advice?

Just kidding, I only wish people here would have answered my sulfur pot question in this same forum, even if it were half as fast.

Agreed, a 4x8 tray in there with two 1000w would be legit.
