    How much light needed for a 20x36x72 inches closet

    Hello beautiful community ! Here's my question on my future setup. I will grow ONE plant in an self watering hydroponic pot (15 inches high) in a 20x36x72 inches metal closet .I know 20 '' is not that big but i intend to make it works .I wanna get the best quality/quantiy for 1 plant so budget is not really a problem. I was looking a for a 1200 W Bestva with veg/flo switch , is it too high for the closet ? or i can go higher if i respect the distance between the top of the plant and the light . Should i go lower ? the closet will have an air circulation set up too. Thank you guys for you answers !!

    I use 2x 1200w bestva in 4x4x8 tent and i have never had a problem. As long as you keep 16-24" of space to top of plant you will not have a problem

    I grew in a 20x36x60 tent for a few years and found that once you get above 700 LED watts or about 300watts draw- you begin to have issues of heat/light stress regardless of you plant height.
    The best results I had in that tent was from 2 MarsHydro Reflector series48 and 96- and had the gorw/bloom switches which came in handy for heat control.
    My g/f had good luck with a mixture of MarsHydro 300w together with a reflector series- in that same tent.
    I grow in soil.
    I have moved to chilled logic v2 100w and Optic XL 100w along with the Marshydro reflector48 I use for the vegging stage.
    It's all bullshit - until you smoke it!

      I just checked the MarsHydro Series and i like the product . You had the 48 and 96 at the same time or you used the 48 for veggie and 96 for flo ? I'm checking for the 700 w, ViparSpectra , would it be good ? . Thanks a lot for the answer i appreciate ! !

      I used both- but if you are growing one plant- then the 480w works fine- See the KISS Girl Scout Cookie link above- that was finished with just the MarsHydro96 (480w).

      That said: I would consider the chilled logic v2 dimmable for a single plant as it covers a 2'x2' area for flower and uses 1/2 the electricity and can be dimmed for veg.
      I have no experience with the 700w Vipar- but once you get over a 600w LED fixture you need additional vertical height.
