A flux of 1000 lumens, concentrated into an area of one square metre, lights up that square metre with an illuminance of 1000 lux. However, the same 1000 lumens, spread out over ten square metres, produces a dimmer illuminance of only 100 lux.
"On the surface of the Earth, the average solar illumination varies between 32,000 and 100,000 lumens per square meter, or lux."

400 lux Sunrise or sunset on a clear day.
1000 lux Overcast day; typical TV studio lighting
10000–25000 lux Full daylight (not direct sun)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux

That's the info you want and needed. Lux is the more covered and more relevant option to note. It's covered all over on RIU in pretty great depths.

1ft^2 is 144 sq in.
1m^2 is 1550 sq in.

Caution...
Your lights are pumping out more than the max lux anyplace on Earth is going to receive from the sun, and then you are multiplying this #.
1. Wear protective clothing & sun screen at all times when in the room!

I think you'll find that legallyflying might already know this and a bit more. :cool:

Just ignore that asshat. He has been trolling my threads. Captain CFL and all his worthy advice. (Insert rolling eyes emoticon here).

No wait... based on the new lux information I'm going to tear everything down and start over.
Forgive me, I'm new.

Sarcasm - I wish we had a button. :cool:

GreatwhiteNorth, make legallyflying take the dice out of this game they're playing or close their threads and ban them from the public. This character has no sense. Boiling people in seconds... Period. All the way GreatwhiteNorth and legallyflying. I was tired of this die trying figure since the beginning. Now it's on another level.

Kippered herring has trouble with math, engineering, physics, chemistry and geometry.

But he's great with people.

@legallyflying I may have my differences with your design. Yet, I'm not so smug or arrogant as to assume- nevermind proclaim- that your endeavors will end in disaster.

I AM certain we'll learn plenty, and through experience I've found that the nicest thing about chickenwire fencing, 5 gallon buckets and trash cans is how easily reconfigurable they are!

what strains you gonna run bro

sgbfcoop · Feb 13, 2015

I'm more interested in this person's set up. Please ignore the trolls and keep posting.

Let me help you;

It works put like this... of the 32 plants, 18 of them will be basking in 4000 watts. 22 of them get 3000 watts and 3 get a measly 2k watts

Since we are not retarded, we don't grow in coco or soil which equates to way fast growth and great yields.

Across the board, if we don't have issues, we pull am average of just a cunt hair over 2lb per light.

The fun comes in when training and trimming the plants. Ever spend 5 hours crouching under cages or standing 6" away from a 1,000 watt bulb? It's SUPER fun!!!

It sucks dick but you know what doesn't suck dick? Bringing very nice buds to the dispensories, having our patients stoked and watching 20's flip through the bill counter like a happy little waterfall .

So that's how it works.

It looks neat and awesome and all that shit but the reality is its a LOT of work. Plain old blue collar work.

all the weed grown with heavy 16,tastes like heavy 16, 2 pounds of commerical chemmy weed. hey man we all drink the water. i grow in soil and my weed would put yours to shame..SHAME.
PEOPLE USE SYNTHETIC FERT. CAUSE THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO GROW.PERIOD.

And where did you get your biochemistry degree, genius?

legallyflying · Feb 14, 2015

Tystick... those dimensions are exactly what we are running in our other room. All I can say is that it works and works well over there, not sure why it wouldn't pan out over here.

But anywho..distances and what not can be changed..you will notice that all the cages are just Zipp tied to suspended conduit so things can slide around or be re attached.

Any closer than 14" things start to get light bleached and there is a loss of quality. less trichs but more weight. 14" yields about 65-70 thousand lux from the hortis.

MORE LIGHT THAN ANY PLACE ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH. Lol.

10k-25k full daylight not direct..
those lights are pushing out over 110k each iirc.
32k-100k direct sunlight..
32k = roughly half of each light (65k)... and 65k * 3 or 4 = 200-260k.

Why is this super tough for you? Get off this forum. Anyone can spend $2,000 and buy a few cases of $40 lights then virtually just plug them in and die. Someone, stop this person! You suck.

lolollololololololololololol. im sure he could out grow you in a heartbeat, blindfolded with both hands tied behind his back. no one is actually listening to you.

@legallyflying fuck yeah why settle for the sun when you can out light it 365 days a year. who even needs a sun

I am not one of those who said your setup wouldn't work. I'm looking forward to seeing how it operates.

pilsung · Feb 14, 2015

could you have your lights hung from a pulley so you can raise them out of the way when you need to trim n train girls?

legallyflying · Feb 14, 2015

^ yup...done.

We are going to try to just train during lights out. We have green LED (3 watt) green lights in our overhead cans and these powerful green led hunting headlamps

Speaking from hard experience, indicas tend to be a struggle in vertical setups.
