Light Coverage For The Marijuana Crop

The amount of area that the special lighting can cover depends on the bulbs and also on the reflective lighting from the walls. There are some averages that can bea figured using the wattage of the bulb and the square footage of the room that has been prepared properly. This means the windows are not allowing light in from outside and it also means that the walls have been painted or had visqueen, Mylar or aluminum foil installed.

The average using these things for a 250 watt marijuana growing bulb, it is able to sufficiently give enough of the proper amount of light to six marijuana plants or a two and a half by two and a half square foot area.

Having twelve marijuana plants growing would require a 400 watt growing light bulb, this is enough for a four foot by four foot area. Using a 600 watt light bulb it is able to provide the right amount of lighting for eighteen plants and can cover a five by five foot area. The use of a 1,000 watt bulb will provide light for a six and a half foot by six and a half foot area where under thirty marijuana plants can be grown.

Most people growing marijuana in the house can use between 400 and 600 watt bulbs, unless they have a larger than average indoor marijuana crop. The first decision to be made for the amount of lighting will be the amount of plants and also the square footage they are placed.
