Not sure if you are saying you have (1) 30 square meter tent or 130 square meters but the basics are:

  1. Minimum amount of lighting needed is around 2000 lumens per square foot.
    Mid range is around 5000 lumens per square foot.
    Optimal is 7000-7500, or higher, lumens per square foot.
So using the online conversion of, 1m²= 10.76391ft²

Minimum amount
of lighting needed is around 21, 527 lumens per square meter.
Mid range is around 53,819 lumens per square meter.
Optimal is 75,347- 80,729 or higher, lumens per square foot.

Seems like you may want to re-think CFL...

I believe I did the math correctly, if I didn't I am sure it will get corrected soon... But thats what I came up with.. Seems MH/HPS will be a better solution IMO.

Ok, you are right, but... what if I tell you that in 1,30 square meters i need between 1000 CFLs (min amount) and 3800 CFLs (optimal) ? AHAHAHAHA I am so laughing. It's impossible to even put them all together in that space. Another problem is that the plants will be beautifully burning. I am seriously waiting for your response and other responses. I think this is CRAZY!!!

I was just trying to help ya man... and what is 1,30 square meters? Is it 1 comma 30 square meter space or what? There is a whole section on lighting here, https://www.rollitup.org/f/cfl-fluorescent-lighting.75/ or read these links too: http://www.growmedical420.com/how-many-lumens-or-watts-per-square-foot-of-light-do-i-need/ or https://www.420magazine.com/forums/grow-lighting/111680-cfl-light-tutorial.html or http://www.slideshare.net/robertnarley1/how-to-get-huge-dense-potent-buds-using-cf-ls-lighting Can you grow with less light, sure.. will you get smokeable buds, maybe... will you get good sized buds, not without enough light. I look forward to the replies of others myself. Good luck with your grow, read the forums here and do some research and I am sure you will uncover your answers. Happy growing.

I did some math. 1000 23 watt bulbs at 1600 lumens each is 1.6 million lumens. So ya just pick up 10 1000 watt hps and 1 600 and you will be all set. Thats for the low end according to your math. Post some pics too that will be quite a set up!!
Me thinks you are confusing watts and lumens cause 10 1000 watt hps isnt gonna fit in 1.3m2 either lol. A quick google said 1000watt hps = 150,000 lumens.
