Just re-looking over everything, and noticed your toilet. LOL! What do you do when you have to poo? Or is it straight ferts? (JUST KIDDING!)

I'm working on just 2000/sq foot right now mostly because one of our light sets stopped working - will be fixed soon.

But, I'm still wondering about the cubed footage. Something to play with later on other grows. I WANT to be at 5k lumens personally, but... That's a high energy bill.

Wondering, what is the trade off for more lumens? You have higher production, but what is the cost? Is it worth the cost when it's just a grow for 1 person? Is it worth the heat, cooling needs, higher energy costs, higher maintenance for the added production?

Also, what about the different types of lights? Do the lumens they give off actually affect plants differently? As LED lights give out little (from what I've read so far) yet the plants can use it more efficiently? How does that compute for fluros/cfls? our plants vegged quite well under "low" lumens, although I was purposely keeping them short with topping and they only vegged 6 weeks indoor with an inexperienced noob. Just wondering how the low levels from them affected the whole thing.

I WILL be adding more, just have to wait to get out to the store that has the right one items for how I'm working things! (also, have to get a better block method for my closet sides - what I had wasn't able to be moved like I had hoped when we reduced the space in half when removing the males. I need something adjustable for my space. That is also hurting the amount of light everywhere.

I like how you have things set up with the tinfoil over the light stretched out to help reflect. I'm considering using that for the divider as well.

How can you tell the plants are not happy with the amount of light? They aren't stretching since the lights are only a few inches from the plants, they are nicely green and growing well from what I can tell. Thanks!
