How many watts of CFL light do you need to equal a 150 watt HPS?
I'm planning on getting 3, 2700k, 68 watt (300 watt equivalent) spiral CFL's.
So thats 204 watts then i was going to add 2, 5600k, 27 watt spiral CFL's.
That's a total of 258 watts and 15800 lumens (27 watt is 1600 lumens/68 watt is 4200 lumens).So would this be equal to like a 150 watt HPS? Because the lights have a more spread out light foot-print.
Also, as a side note, I am growing in a 2 ft wide, 4 ft tall, and 1.5 ft forward grow space. It has good ventilation (supplemented by C02) with an oscillating fan, flat white painted walls. I will be using the ScrOG method as well as LST'ing my plants before they are old enough to be placed in the ScrOG screen. I will have 3 plants all in 1 gallon pots. How much do you think i will yield?
