Canopy Coverage Calculator
Estimate projected circular plant-canopy area as a percentage of a rectangular grow area.
What this calculator estimates
Compare estimated plant canopy footprint with the available rectangular grow area.
How the calculation works
Each plant is approximated as a circle. Circular areas are multiplied by plant count and divided by room area.
How to use the result
Enter values that represent the current setup, review the calculated result, and compare it with direct measurements and equipment documentation before making changes.
Important limitations
Overlapping canopies are counted more than once, so this is a planning estimate rather than a measured leaf-area index.
This tool is intended for planning and comparison. Recheck inputs whenever equipment, layout, crop size or operating conditions change.
