All brands are different. Look on your bulbs' boxes to see. If you cant find that get a Soil Master, it has two probes for measuring soil pH and moisture but also has light measurer that goes up yo 2000 lumens.

Hi. Am a new grower with first batch cooking. The plants are very compact and bushy and have been under continuous (24/24) strong light since sprouting 5 weeks ago. One variety is starting to show flowers. I was rying to hold off the flowering by keeping the lights on all the time to get bigger before flowering. Do I HAVE to switch these plants to 12/12 light now or can I keep them under continuous light to get bigger? Thanks in advance to any help you can offer.

you can keep them under continous light until they get bigger. You just need to transplant them to different pots when they get big. I heard you can veg plants for up to 2 years.

Welcome to rollitup and all, but dont you hate people that hijack each others posts to ask some random question? Atleast put an effort into fnding some information before just changing the subject on someone's question that they actually care about. My bids on him not even checking for what we have to say in response..

If your still wondering about the lumens, search the brand and type of bulb on google and you'll find the lumen amount very quickly.
