u go by watts not lumens? cause like a 100 watt thing can provide varying lumens

i was just wondering why?

best nugs flower at 50,000 lumens plus, go to any seed breeder website and they will agree, 400 watt hps give you 50000 lumens, the hps with blue spectrum gives like 57000, more lumes=fatter buds, the professionals will tell you this, email them if you doubt it.

no i mean i was just wondering if u go by lumens or by watts. i was not doubting that more power gives more buds. i was just wondering the lumens or watts thing.


i was also asking for how much do u need for seedlings/cloning? i plan to flower outside.

you dont just go by one of them you go by both, 50,ooo lumens gives good buds and thats a 400w hps with blue spectrum if you want more then you get like a 600w hps lamp the more the better

go to cannabis.com faq list, and somewhere they will tell you what kind of lumens a garden plant with southern exposure get from the sun, and also the lumens per hps or mh light for indoor, that should give you a good idea

k yeah. so u go by both. i wanted to know how much u want for seedlings/starting clones (not finishing buds)?

seedlings or clones u can veg at 1300 plus lumens without too much stretching, but remember the veg cycle only last 1-5 weeks so thats not the bigger picture, flower cycle is 6-12 week depending on strain, veg clycle you have some room to play with, flower cycle is the payoff
