I am building my own LED light system. Each has (8) T8 4' LED lights. 4 red and 4 blue/white. Each bulb is rated for 1248 luminus. 10,000 luminus total? With those numbers, I am wanting to know what kind of coverage are we talking? How many plants would it accomidate without too much crowding? Sorry for so many question marks. Thanks Guys. :wall:
 
it depends on the spread of the light because the higher you have it the more you will fit under it but then you loose lumen's...
but i think i read somewhere 2000 per plant is like the minimum if you are trying to grow some medium/high quality draw 5000 for top notch hard as rock buds...
(all just what ive read not from experience)
