Tek Light T5 Hydroponic Fluorescent Lighting System, High Output Plant Grow Lighting
Most gardeners use at least 25 watts per square foot of garden space. You may need less if your GARDENLIGHT is used to supplement natural sunlight, or if you are growing a plant that does not require as much light (ie: lettuce). However, many gardeners prefer to double or even triple the recommended wattage to achieve faster growth rates. There is really no such thing as too much light, but using a big light in a small space will sometimes result in high temperatures that are difficult to control. Keep in mind that plants need periods of darkness too. Most indoor gardeners use supplemental lighting from 10 - 16 hrs per day.
