A key area of concern next is setting up lighting and ventilation. The Bayco SL-300 8.5 Inch Clamp is an excellent choice for setting up your lighting. They help your housing reflect as much light as possible and any excess light that isn’t used by your plants is wasted. Therefore, you must be sure they are producing the right lumens per square foot. Lumen is the total amount of visible light emitted by a light source. It is important you’re clear on the amount of lumens your setup needs. To grow average-sized plants, you would need about 3000 lumens per square foot and the average amount that gets to your plant depends on their distance from the light source. To figure out how3 many lumens per square foot you would need, divide the total lumens by the overall square feet.

Now, that you’re clear on the choice of lighting for your hydroponic setup, the next thing is deciding on how to set it up. When positioning your grow light, you should place them at least just atop the height of your pots. Your room should be adjusted to accommodate the final height of your plants. There are several ways to set up or hang the lights in your hydroponic setup. You would need to do what works best for you. The most common and probably simplest method involves hanging them on the bar in your closet or just anywhere that is the right height.
The temperature of your marijuana grow operation is between 27c and 32c. If your temperature falls below this, consider adding a heater and if it is above, a fan and an additional source of ventilation may be added to provide the perfect growing conditions. If your room is in a closet, an oscillating fan like the Holmes Lil’ Blizzard 8-inch Oscillating Table Fan would do and if in a box, adding a duct system is the way to go.
When setting up lighting and ventilation you may also want a nice thermometer to keep track of the temperature and we have a fine selection in our store. Just click here.
