idk if this answers your question but reading earlier on another threadd i read thisss...

"What's a good rule of thumb for lumens? I've seen a lot of info. on watts, but how many lumens would, say, one plant need?" - Asuka's Right Arm.

(ANSWER) --- I'm not sure that's the right question. I think the question is more how many lumens for the area you are growing in...

I'd say about 2500 lumens per square foot and you'll be safe....

i'm growing in a small home made frow room big enough for 1 -3 small bushy plants so my 13,000 lumens is workin fine... i'll probably change to a red spectrum light for flowering but you need blue spectrum light for vegetative period. ---- shiva


and nowww the last thing is... i know that 4800k-6000k+ = blue spectrum(vegetating) 1800k-4800k red spectrum(basically) used for flowering!!!!



gooooood luckkkk

keep us updated!! i always wondered if you could get a bomb ass plant from a schwag sack... i think you can because i just believe that schwagg could have potentially been good weed that was either neglected to long or just not taken care of... basically just random wild weed
