Strain for very light intensive room 100.000 lumens/m2

Basically, the more light you can provide the better yield will be had.

For most practical purposes you're right - more lumens mean bigger buds. That's because in most gardens, light output is the bottle neck. However, plants suffer radiation damage from the sun just like humans. Get enough light and they suffer from it, get even more and they die.

But more importantly there is a point of dimishing returns at a certain point, and I want to know what those are for different plants, if anyone knows.

Remember you are trying to replicate the sun and if I recall correctly the avg tropical sun emits like 10,000 lumens per square foot.

So obviously getting a plant from temperate regions where the plant has to adapt and funtion best at much lower rates of light would be a bad thing then? Now we're getting somewhere.

I'm sure there is a point where growth rate is maximized and diminished returns is apparent, but this is not a point that most growers reach or are even aware of, if at all.

Ok, so we disagree on this one point. I think the point of diminishing returns ( ie. not buds getting smaller, but getting less effect per watt used ) will start at 50.000-80.000 lumens. This is from reading at OG and countless other sources. That's why I want a plant that can take big amounts of light...

s12fever: Thanks, but I like to grow just one kind of plant, and also I want a strain I can read about first. It's cool of you though, so thanks again.

Strain for very light intensive room 100.000 lumens/m2 Hi all, looking for a strain that will perform well in a very well lit room, one 600 watt greenpower bulb producing 90.000 lumens that will light an area of under 1 m2. Will use highly efficient super oxygenated bubblers and add CO2 to ensure max usage of the light. I want the strain first of all to be a great producer at high wattages, it also needs high potency and can't be too smelly or really hard to grow. Current candidates are The Hog from TH seeds Rating: 5
