LUMENS DO NOT STACK! Any one who tells you this is just wrong. I would calculate the lumens from 1 bulb on top. This is the lumen level period. Now it drops as you move away from the bulb. The key is if your using more than 1 bulb, you can apply that lumen level to lower levels/wider areas. So a...
Great! THANKS! Now I have scratch marks all over my monitor from clawing at that picture. Please be more considerate when posting pure happiness, thanx.
USPS should have a number for it, if it's charged that way. Just so you know, most packages are delivered within 7-10 business days (Including Saturdays) within the states. I don't know how you'd get that though...
Yup, yer right at 3,437.5 Lumens per square foot. Just remember lumens fall the further away from the bulb you get, so that's 3,437.5 lumens AT THE CANOPY. If you want that all over the plant, you'll have to side light, but that's another story.
55,000/16= 3437.5
OR 573 Lumens per CUBIC foot.
Basically, the floor is square feet. So I'm assuming the floor is 4X4. If not than 4X6=24
So 55,000/24=2291.6 Lumens per square foot if it's 6 feet long. If not, go with the original.
I've seen hippie folk use a freshly grown willow branch simply thrown into the bottom of a cloner. Others use $500.00 worth of solutions. Clonex, Dip-n-grow, earth juice all work well.
Nice! I always misted as soon as the lights popped off to avoid burn. It would be a nice experiment to run for sure. Aeroponic foliar...Hmmmm...And when you cut to 12/12? If you can finish a crop with foliar spray, I will kneel at your feet.
I never said THE way was with seaweed. I just said I use GH seaweed which is .2-0-.3. I only suggested that because it works for me. I'm sure there are several ways to treat a N deficiency through foliar feeding.
With lights off, naturally, it won't evaporate quite as quickly. I would hit 'em right after the lights turn off.
And the table shows factors which effect foliage feeding effectiveness. They are separated by location. I.E. Plant, nutrient,air,Etc.

I've personally found that guano's leave a powdery residue on the foliage when used in that way. Probably wouldn't hurt. Wouldn't throw it late in flower, but a week, sure. A TREE SPIKE! YAAA! (Joke)
I've had good luck with General Organics Seaweed mixed at 1/4 strength. Gives NPK in a gentle amount plus beneficials which stay behind after the water is absorbed/evaperates. I'm sure ANY powdered seaweed meal with micro's will due just as well, just remember to mix at a weak strength, or...
