2x 42w & 2x 26w are still to be added to the area, this will happen when the rest of the clones are added.
so total lumens for the area will be 28400 & area is 3.4sq ft roughly (base area not including height since cfl can't penetrate worth crap). so thats an avg of 8k+ lumens per sq ft. This will probably only apply to the inner 2 rows of 2 liters. The outside edge 2 liters will only get around 5.5k - 6k per sq ft.
the same 400w with hps would produce 21,600 more lumen's than the current CFL setup fyi. So is less heat, cheap bulbs & literally the ability to grow anywhere worth the loss of 21,600 lumen's? We will see..![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Things are looking good, technically some of the plants have been in flower for 7 days now & there stretching has been very very minimal, hopefully this continues.
