5,000 lumens per cubic feet is a good recommended amount of light. 2 plants that are 2x2x2 is 16 cubic feet. Thats 80,000 lumens. So yes 2 plants for a single 8 lamp setup.
Paht_Hed Reviewed by Paht_Hed on . t5 Questions... Just got a T5 and I have a few new girls. They are about a foot tall, just topped... the T5 should be right on these ladies correct? The meter have has a 500 and 5000 setting, and I'm getting 35 (10X) so 350 light candles out of 500. Is this enough light for these babies? I'm also getting forty more babies tomorrow, small ones. The T5 I have has four lights in it... is this enough to cover all the babies? What type of light candel intensity am I looking for? I figured I would leave Rating: 5
