How many square feet of plants can I grow beneath this? They are sun lovers.

6-9 square feet. In bloom add a red ufo for best results. Light adds almost no heat and takes no power to run. Great choice!!

I wouldn't expect a space larger than a 2x3' so about 6 square feet. Really though it will only flower good in about a 18"x30" area.

Connie, I went online and asked for a schedule to plant mine. Worked out fine, as this is the second year, and out of ten, I have eight doing well. I am letting them do their thing this year, and should have some good eating this next year. Janet

a very small area. those small plants need to be about 18-24 inches apart and they don't cover much area. we got 60 of the small ones and after seeing them decided to get larger plants that we could plant every 3 feet apart.

We live in Utah, we bought 2, planted them inside while they grew a bit, put them outside for spring and summer, now back in for the winter. They are about 3 ft tall now, I expect to plant them outside this year and see how it goes!

My wife and I grew cucumber plants and tomato plants from seed to about 6"-8" before it was nice enough for them to go outside. Must have had around a dozen plants under it. That being said I'm sure flowers will be happy under it. I have also used them for larger plants ;)

I have 2 larger pots (7" x 8 " high) in the top section. The lower shelf handles 3 medium pots (about 6" ) but since there's a "ceiling" above the plants, they can't be more than 12" total, including the growing plant. All need saucers under, if you don't want water to leak onto a floor !

I think the answer is 4,000 sq feet. If you Google it you will get all the info you need.it likes Sun and we bought An innoculant to go with it.

Depends on how large your containers are. Easily holds two 5gal circular Home Depot buckets. I wouldn't put in a third tho (because I scrog). Also ran three 10 liter buckets no problem. If you grow SOG and in square containers you could fit at least 6, but I wouldnt. Stick with 2 - 3 plants and you'll be good.

Daylight, and the heat is cool enough that, your plants can get as close as 6in. without burning the leaves. Hope this helps.

It really depens on how ong it will be before you can water the plants again. I use one large for each pot and some of the pots are 12" wide. If I was going for more then 4 days then I use 2 bulbs. We live in NM with little rain.

Yes, we have had as many as six. I also expanded the lower part to make room for when they cannot free range. I also put4"X4"s under the exterior bottom and placed patio stones around the exterior to prevent varments from digging under.

I replanted in a 10" diameter ceramic planter. Took it to work where there's great indirect light (about 6 hours a day). Water about 1/2 a cup to 1 cup once a week. It's doing great. :)

I have mine in large pots and they are doing well. Out of the soil I'd say about 4', maybe they'll grow another foot or two but I don't expect more than that. At least not in the pots.

I'd say three to four medium sized plants if you are talking about mature plants. You'll have to trim indeterminate plants back because they can become six foot plus monsters. If you are thinking of small, determintate patio tomato plants, 10-12 will fit. I've only used these lights to start tomatoes, not grow them entirely inside. But I have had daylilies bloom under them, so I think you'll get fruit.

We have two beds located in an area with close to 100% sunlight throughout the day, and didn't have any issues with this. Grew a pretty wide range of plants this year and they all turned out fine.

My plants were about 2 ft from the bulb and did well. So one bulb could cover your two trays side-by-side, maybe even end-to-end if you swap them around every few days.

Should be. I originally had my light on a 30 gallon and it was chock full of plants that had no trouble growing under it.
