too many lumens possible?
Ok - so I am one lucky chickie!
This weekend I stumbled upon a few amazing deals - (1) T5 4 ft 6 bulb and (1) T5 4 ft. 8 bulb for under $200.00
So of course I had to come home and re configure right? have one above one mounted on the wall - the wall is only running 4 bulbs and the top is running 5 for a total of 45,000 lumens - sounds yummy huh?
BUT - moving the little ladies from 10,000 - my instinct tells me this has to be done gradually and of course I have sessions all day yesterday and can't be hereā?¦ā?¦
So I come home and the leaves are pointing down- kind of like overwatering, but the soil is pretty dry and humidity is right at 45% - not bad for the 100% we had outside all day.
Light or waterlog?
Other considerations :
space is limited to about 5 sq.ft. - lumenes equal just under 10,000 per sq. ft.
Temp is 85 steady
No nutes for well over a week and then it was 1/4 strength
Cuttings 5 weeks out and into flower about 2 weeks
otherwise very healthy
no gnats / mites / or other undesirables
Momma is under a big ass CFL doing beautiful
Soil seems dry to touch about 2" down
Can't post pics cuz I have an aggreement with my partner about itā?¦.
Am leaning more towards lets watch em for a day or two after removing some lumensā?¦ā?¦
