Flower Room Lighting
42W (color: 2700 K) (Lumens: 2800) x8 = 22400 lumens
2’ x 2’ Flower box = 4 sq. ft.
22400 lm/4 sq. ft. = 5600 lumens per sq. ft.
(ideal is 7000 -1000 lumens per sq. ft.) (minimum recommended is 3000 lm/sq. ft.)

Add your total lumens and then divide by total square foot of your grow space. 3000 lm/sq. ft. is the minimum recommended for CFL growers.

And there you go!way to go scarfinger68!!

all my CFL grows used

22400 lm/4 sq. ft. = 5600 lumens per sq. ft.

I use 138watts of cfls in 2 square foot. 30days of flowering

Do you know your average harvest?

I am just going to throw this out there as a guess: .25 x 138 = 34.5 grams at harvest.

 

[Notchrob]

I got 1/2 oz last grow.this plant is twice as big as the last one.we'll know in 30 days!

There is only one plant,when I grew in hydroponics I jammed 5 per sq ft.I've seen as high as 9 plants per sq ft.very fast turn over.each plant would put out 1/2 oz

 

[solareclipse]

notchrob please let me ask u something....what i see in picture is lst-ing?am i right?if the pot i small and u make lst on the girl...would u have bigger yields?or it depends from the roots?i know it depends a lot of things...like nutrients humidity micro nutrients...and many more..but i ask about the pot....i have asmall pot and i dont do lst....and i have a big central bud and smaller buds around....and i do the same with lst i have more cemtral buds butsmaller if no lst...do u believe u will have better results?

 

[Notchrob]

Small pot small crop.I dont have much light so I grow low and slow!I train them to stay low and even to make the best of what I have to work with.

I am guessing this is a clone and or an untopped plant from seed. Looks like some LST and at least one HST. The left branch is bent or cracked and makes a 45 degree angle change in direction which would be the HST.

 

[Notchrob]

I supercroped this one.I wasn't paying attention to it while I was waiting for it show sex,and it got away from me.this is the offspring of a project I was playing with.plant was never topped.just brutally bent all the branches.high stress training!!
