Lumens per plant?

[run11129]

So you're saying that the 1600 lumens light i just got is nto enough for one plant surrounded by white paper and foil? it's a 100 watt bulb because that's all they had in stock it's a CFL light....no good????

ouch you better check that again, I have 55w cfl 's that are 4000 lumens each. if it is 1600 invest in a better light, lumens are what count not watts from what i have read, but i am new so i may just get my post ripped to shreds lol
