i read some were that they are 50-60 lumens per watt if this is right at 50 lumens per watt its 16250lumens and the area is only about 2ft by 1 1/2ft i think i read some were that the sun gives off about 10000lumens per meter squared. can some one tell me if im right
I think its 2000=3000 lumens per square foot. But with them lights you need to keep them about 10cm from the plants at all times when flowering.

check out my journal for pics. i have the purple light beside the plants about 10cm away and the red light is in a reflector a few cm above the tallest parts of the plant.
Your plants look good mate. I fucked mine up a bit. I didn't realise I hit my timer a few weeks ago and instead of getting 12/12. They were getting 12 on 2 off 2 on and 8 off. Slowed them right down.
Nice grow keep it up.

ouch were they budding when that happened?
Ya about between 2 and 3 weeks into flower. Not sure if they lights were on the extra hours for 1 or 2 weeks.
I'm not expecting a great yield now or at least added an extra 3 weeks to my harvest time.
I've a journal in my sig if you want to have a look.
