Sorry, Lady, I need to interrupt your excellent answer. (Life Lesson, guys: when correcting a woman always compliment her several times first

I added the
w/sqft info in your quote to easily show what we need to look for in lighting a crop. The amount of watts that you are putting over each foot of canopy space is the easiest way to compare lighting. And we know from experience that you need at least 40w/sqft to grow decent plants to maturity.
Yeah, Mogie, I laughed out loud at that kid in the basement playing video games comment! he he
