    Testing out the new DIY light

    So I've built a DIY led set up which is rated at just over 100 watt draw from the wall, I downloaded the ppfd app and did some calculations, the bulbs I chose range from 2700k to 6500k 1500lm but mainly concentrate aroung the 4000k range (veg). Let me know what you think, will it suffice?
