How many lumens are needed for clones and two mothers
Well,
I would say you're going to want a least 250watts on the mothers. The clones are going to depend on how many clones your working with.

They are in the same room
As far as lumens go, I think 2,000 is the bare minimum you would want per square foot. 3,000 - 5,000 lumens per square foot is better. The higher the lumens the better the grow, theoretically speaking. But I think for indoor growing 4,000 - 5,000 per square foot is ideal.Quote:

Minimal Lumens for survival: 2,000 p/sq. ft.
Minimal Lumens for good growth: 5,000 /sq. ft.
Minimal Lumens for Max growth: 7,500 / sq. ft.
Watts are meaningless without factoring lumen AND kelvin temp output of lighting.

All work together.
Good Luck.
my grow cab is 18"x30" which is a little under 4sq ft and i have a 400w 55k lumen bulb in there... so thats... what... 14k/sqft :) my plants will be happy
Im still a bit confused. In a video i saw he had three two bulb fixtures that where four foot flourescents for his two mothers and clones. How much lumens is that?
4ft floros don't get much more than 4000 lumens of output. The ones I have are only 3400lumens/per tube(used as side-lighting).
yeah 5000 lumens per sq fooot is gooood.........but if u can get more go for it.....
4 40 watt HID Bulbs will only get you about 1900 lumens per bulb so 9600 lumens, Which is the same that I'm running just until I put them under the 400w HPS which gives off between 45000 and 55000 depending on the bulbs. Which is more than enuff for a 5 x 5 ft space. :) Peace
thats a lie.....mine puts out over 8,000 lumens, does have double-tubes thoughQuote:
