    having 50-65 plants under 1 1000w hps and 1 400w hps, with a 360 degree light mover. say the space is 8x8. is this enuff to make that many plants grow plentfluy? what about the LED ufo. how many would it take to grow 50-65 plants in the same space(8x8)? or how many LED watts would it take for that space?

    If I remember rightly the rule of thumb is 50watts per square foot, I'm running a 1KW in a 5x5' room and seems to work fine. manufacturers say 1KW good for 8x8' space but I've noticed that plants in the corners of the room don't do as well as they should!>)

    If you're talking about a Sun Twist type light mover 2 600w hps might be a more balanced application or maybe 4 400's;>)

    Not sure how big you're gonna grow 60 plants under 1400w of light...

    A 400w typically can fit 5-8 plants under it. 1000w covers a 5x5 area VERY nicely.
