Hi Varonos, 

 

¿1000w/m2 in 20m2? That is totally unnecessary. You can get the best results even with half light.

If you have any lamp of 1000W, unless you have a very high-vaulted cieling, you may want to cool those lamps with "cool-tube" technology, basically exhausting the room by pulling most or all the air out of the room by first pulling the hot air directly through the lamp's housing.

In any case with a room so big, you will need two air systems:  One to pull air out of the room which also allows fresh air to enter the room.  Then you will have to have two or more circulation fans to cause the air inside the room to move around, so that there are no spots of stale air, basically, enough circulation fans that each leaf can wiggle at least a little bit from time-to-time due to air movement.

The size of the exhaust fan(cubic feet per minute, and its filter) should be based on the cubic size of the room (xxx m^3).

Look at this site if you are in Europe.   www.growmart.de  I think they offer selection charts.

Well for 20 lamps you will need a nice Air Climatizer for your room, something that can cool everything down anytimw you ask for it. You will need to see with some industrial machine the potency you want but it will be something of good size for sure. Then some passive intraction is enough if your extractor is strong. You will find some threads that show you how to calculate the volume of your room and the extractor you will need.

 

good luck and be sure to be ready if you are about to build 20 lamps, make some experience before and talk with the good people that will be able to give you good advice in direct. you dont want those 20 lamps to end up full of mold or whatever could happen with a bad setup.

 

Greetings!

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
