Thanks for all the posts guys! i love to get help from the cannabis community. To answer your question, my lights are all provided by CFL's which are held in place by Lamps.Therefore, im sure you can imagine that my plant gets plenty of light. She gets a lamp 360 degree's around, and two on top. It's great to see now how it glows light green. I also moved the light's closer. I checked on her eariler today. I will take more pics tomorrow before the lights go off. She looks better, but she is not ready for a transplant yet. She needs 1 more week according to my calculations. She's only been in this pot for about 2 weeks. To me, this isn't enough time for it tobecome rootbound and to diminish the most stress possible from transplanting. Also the top center "ball" has developed into a bud spot very clearly. Today, the spot is engulfed with pistils and small leaves growing. HOORAY!

I almost forgot, i never mentioned temps.They are extremely stable thanks to my basement, 74 degrees lights on, 72 lights off. CFL's prodce little heat, it makes venting easy.
casual Reviewed by casual on . CFL lumen help pls! so, i was strolling around the forum, i found 2000 lumens sq. ft./21500 lumens sq. m. = Absolute minimum for growth. You won't get much from this, especially after the plant has grown a bit. Not really enough to flower well. 3000 lumens sq. ft./32250 lumens sq. m. = Pretty Good growth. Enough light for the entire light cycle, although your yields may be lower. 4000 lumens sq. ft./43000 lumens sq. m. = Very good growth. Once you pass around 3500, growth rate and ability goes up fast. Rating: 5
