Default is it enough????

I'm finishing flowering an outdoor plant inside under 6 - 40watt CFLs, about 16'000 lumens and 240 watts. Do you thinks thats enough to finish this plant off, It stands about 4ft and its pretty bushy???
Thanks.

PS. pics are from about 2 weeks ago.

that sounds a little weak, you might be fine. im not too sure with cfl's, your plants will be in a huge shock because that dosent even come close to outside light.

Default Enough Lite?

Two things to consider are these. CFLs produce less heat so they can be much closer to the plant top, than HPS can be. So they can produce a lot of lumens on the leaf surface. Second, reflected light can be as valuble as the primary source. So buy a mylar survival blanket at Walmart for $2 and attach it to the wall.

Measure you plant height. In 48 hours it will grow some if there is enough light. Otherwise add a couple more 42 watt cfls.

if you vent your HPS light it doesnt matter about heat. i can touch the glass right under my bulb and hold my hand on the glass and its barely even warm.
