Man those plants look great. From wall to wall its like a canopy of a rain forest. Really like the cfl's ran down the middle. Great idea. Where did you get those "cages" that you use as buffers/protectors around the cfl bulbs? I need to get some of those. You buy that at your local hydro shop or did you make them. You should PM me the name of your shop so I can take a look online. If you built them, give me the specs/methods how you did it. My grow room has similar dimensions and when I run my HPS this ,I will want to run cfl just like that. Looking good my friend. Cheers.
just checked out ur thread and have to say im pretty impressed.. Hope to see some nice flowers soon GL
Like ur set up ! I feel like a real noob my set up is real getto 4 the my frist time lol u from the uk ?
Whats up Howard. Desert Rat did a very interesting study about lumens. Here the link and give it a read: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/349293-myth-busters-s-light.html
According to him, you indeed can over lumen/light you plant. He doesn't say what over light does to plant or why, but only that it can effect the plant. Not sure but by my calculation your putting about 20,000 initial lumens per sq. foot, and thats twice as much as the highest recommended. CFL's loose about 75 lumens for every sq. inch they travel. So for you not to be over lighting, your lights would have to be about 12 feet from the tops of your plants.
Question is: how does over lighting effect your plants? and why does it effect them? I'm not sure if its true (over lighting) but if it is true you may want to make some adjustments. Then again, if everything is going according to plan, maybe the proof is in the pudding. Just some knowledge I picked up and passing it along. Ill try to get to the bottom of it and get with you if can dig up any answers. Later.
