    Default How do you know the lumens of the light????

    I can't find how many lumens my lights are.

    I bought some GE "daylight" CFL's and some Walmart brand "soft white" CFL's. I saw after only a day or two that the plants under the soft whites were growing much faster, so I switched all the bulbs to the Walmart brand 23w (100w equivalent) CFL.

    I cant find how many lumens they are for the life of me!

    Yeah its really wierd... its nowhere on the package and I even looked at walmart online store. I cant find it anywhere. I was just curious how many lumens each of these lights are putting out.

    I think my 23w -100w are like 1600 lumens each. I went from one to three on my girl and she is going crazy with 1/2 gallon of filtered water and 1/2 teaspoon of Fox Farm Grow Big every other day. EVERY day under those nights that I move up to 3 times a day she grows and changes!! I mist her 2x a day w just filtered water and thats all I do.

    26 w daylight bulbs (6500k) have a higher lumen output for sure. Over 1,600.
