I'm building a small cabinet for flowering out some males to harvest pollen, the cab will be 3x3x3ft and I'm planning to light it with cheap led lamps which work out at 175Lm/$1 (no heat sinks required and easy to build)
A few questions:
Do males need as much light as females? after all, I'm only trying to harvest a few small flowers off each plant
Could I get away with as little as 1600 lumens per sq foot? My mother plants still seem to get plenty of growth under similar lighting levels
Could I also reduce the time the light is on to save on power? eg. 10/14, without ill effect
