Things to know about lighting
i figured out my light output according to the info in post #1 of the thread linked above.
minimum lumens/square foot: 3000
ideal lumens/square foot: 7000-10000
HPS: 107 lumens/watt
CFL: 65 lumens/watt
i have a 1000w HPS, 4 23w CFL's and today i added 2 28w CFL's.
1000+(4x23)+(2x2) =
1148 combined watts
(107x1000)+(65x23x4)+(65x28x2) =
116620 lumens total output
my room is 5'x3.5' but the back 1' isn't grow space so the lights only need to light 4'x3.5'=14 square feet.
116620 lumens in 14 square feet =
8330 lumens per square foot
when its time to flower i'll rotate a uvb reptile bulb around in each hanging socket for a while. hope i have the cash by then for 3000 bulbs.
also added another air pump and 2 air stones in each dwc tub for more air.
still need to bring my humidity up.
