CFL lights bought, anygood.
sure. will take pics when i get my cam back in 3 hours...
whats wrong with with x2 300w CFL lights? seriously? around 38000 lumens.. each sq ft will need around 9000lumens.. 5000lumens per sq ft would be sufficiently enough though for optimum growth.. cfl lights penetrate more too..
23w CFL = 1600 lumens = 69.6 lumens/watt
30w CFL = 2000 lumens = 66.7 lumens/watt
40w CFL = 2600 lumens = 66.3 lumens/watt
compared to
150w HPS = 14000 lumens = 93.3 lumens/watt
250w HPS = 28000 lumens = 112 lumens/watt
400w HPS = 50000 lumens = 125 lumens/watt
600w HPS = 90000 lumens = 150 lumens/watt
i see it as, 7000lumens per plant, which means you can grow around 14 plants. i only have 5 plants...
i have A 600w hps which produces 90000 lumens, therefore, i need to have around 10 sq ft of area... i dont even have that... i jumped to a 600w hps as i always buy the best, but forgot to research about it! if i had 10sft of area, i wouldnt have a problem as the heat will spread and extracted..
my grow size is 6sq ft!
