I have a 4 T8 32W 2 COOL(4001K) 2 WARM(3001K) fixture and 3 CFLS - 2 45W (4001K) Cool White and 1 40W (2700K) Soft White all few inches away
that's total of 253W of roughly 20,000 lumens running 24/0.
Set up is roughly 2 1/2 feet wide and 5 feet long
I plan to eventually move them outdoors so this a temp set up
My question is, Is that efficient amount of light for that amount of plants and space ?

So measure ur grow space, then add up the amount of lumens ur pushin and determine whether thats enough lumens or not

I use minimum of 600w just because I don't want any disapointments in yield or stretching. they have a really nice 6" hooded cooltube for around 90 bux its called a Neptune 6 best investments I ever made even if you don't use a fan to run air through it I can put it about 6inches away (I use it as a vertical supporting light with another600 on top) just a thought
