Question Is 2600 Lumens Enough Light To Grow The Magical Herb?
I Have 3 Seedling Under 2 13 Watt Cfl Bulbs In A Glass Reflected House Lamp Those 2 Together Equal 1700 Lumens Plus An Additional Grow Bulb At 900 Watts So Is 2600 Lumens Enough Light For My Plants? I Have My Lights About 6 Inches Over The Top Of My Tallest Plant

I have two 105w CFLs (app. 800w incandescent total) within a few inches of a vegging Double Gum plant: so far I've seen no signs of heat stress. You can get those bulbs a LOT closer to your plants.

What ever the highest lumen output is of the bulb...that's the most lumen's you will get. So if you have 5 1700 lumen bulbs...your still only getting 1700 lumen's, not 8500 lumen's. You can not add lumen's together.

Do NOT use halogen.

You can get the 42W cfl's from home depot, walmart...places like that.
