Critique my setup. 2nd grow.

So after my first grow, ive gained a bit of knowledge and am throwing it into my 2nd one. Im currently a week in. How does this sound:

5 White rhino fem. seeds

11,875~ lumens per sq. ft with my 600 watt hps (95,000 lumens) in my tent (2.8X2.8)

FF Nutes/addatives. Soil is a mix of perlite/ffof

474 CFM fan sucking air out.

Oscillating fan

Last grow I used a 400 watt.

What should I expect this time? Does everything sound good? ESPECIALLY the lumens per square feet I am going to get.

2000 lumens sq. ft./21500 lumens sq. m. = Absolute minimum for growth. You won't get much from this, especially after the plant has grown a bit. Not really enough to flower well.
3000 lumens sq. ft./32250 lumens sq. m. = Pretty Good growth. Enough light for the entire light cycle, although your yields may be lower.
4000 lumens sq. ft./43000 lumens sq. m. = Very good growth. Once you pass around 3500, growth rate and ability goes up fast.
Over 5000 lumens sq. ft./53750 lumens sq. m. = Optimal growth. Dense growth in all stages.

10,000 lumens per sq ft is the sun on an average sunny day. I think thats for vegging not flowering;-)

I'm guessing a half pound, if you take care of them okay.
Who ever is reading this, what is 'okay?' I mean i dont want to baby them (only there once a day, and dont live with them) but as far as providing an environment close to outdoor, im doin pretty damn close imo.

"but as far as providing an environment close to outdoor, im doin pretty damn close imo" = "okay".

FYI, doing a more productive growing system (hydro/aero) with some CO2 enrichment and a stronger light would get you up to "well".

Good luck to you.
