Default Flower Lighting Questions - 2 Weeks in - Pix - Help Appreciated
permalink
I have 7 23 watt cfls, plus the aerogarden hood on one side of the plants because they became to tall, and I broke one light while trying to hang it. With this setup, how much could I possibly yield? I was thinking of getting 150 watt hps, but I'd like to see what my current setup might pull for me. Please let me know if Ill have a decent flower with what I got. Thanks 2 weeks into flowering. Sex Unknown . Flora Nova Bloom

Man, deja-vu I swear I already replied to this because I remember doing lumen calculations but somehow my post isn't here, HAH.

Okay so heres the breakdown

150w HPS: 16,000 lumens + HEAT
7x23w CFL+AG(1 light): 12,800 lumens

I would just replace 2-3 of those 23w CFL bulbs with 42W CFL bulbs...

If you swapped out 3 23W for 42W you would have 3300 more lumens, 16,100 total, which would put you right up to par with a 150W HPS..

That would only run you ~$27 and you don't have to worry about changing your current setup at all, heat, heavy ballasts or ordering anything online and having to wait for shipping.

alot is a relative word.

HPS is going to put out way more heat than a CFL setup, and the CFLs can get way closer to the plants.
