How much lighting needed per cubed foot?
Lol... yea its a spare bathroom.
2000 sq ft? that cant be right, my space is around, 9 sq ft. like 3x3, and I have for the flowering cycle, 25,000 lumen
basically, in my space here is my light cycle 3x3, I also re-pot into larger pots during each phase
seeds/sprouts, 2-4,000 lumen
6-8 inches 8,000 lumen
16-36 inches 14,000 lumen
then flower, throw as much as you can. 14,000 L is enuph to flower some great buds in a 3x3
also the reflector I made is not tin foil, its thin metal, you can buy it in a roll in various sizes & thickness's at the hardware store; not sure what type of metal but it does not contract very much heat at all.
any light you give a plant it will be happy, if you want them taller raise you lights higher, you need some space in between the leaf's, those become bud sites.growdemon Reviewed by growdemon on . How much lighting needed per cubed foot? Ok, I know how many lumens are suggested for the square foot. BUT! What about square foot when the plants are taller??? Such as, when your plants are 4' tall, if you have CFLs that produce 4000 L per sq', what about the lower levels of the plants? Or do you just work at lessening the number of leaves lower down? I'm just thinking consistancy. :) Bug Rating: 5
