Hello everyone, I was wondering and can't seem to find a straight answer, what is the ideal amount of light with fluorescent lights to grow around 8-10 seedlings till they grow to a nice size... Like half a foot to a foot? I don't know, how ever big they should be before putting them under a 1000watt hps. I have two t-8 bulbs that are 54 watts 2,900 lumens each and around 4,500k I think, I also have a smaller 2 foot t-5 that's 24 watts I don't know the lumen output but i'm guessing it's around 2,000 since t-5's are efficient. So all together that's about 7800-8000 lumens. i'm going to try and use this set up anyways since I have it and want to start asap x) but if anyone has any coments or ideas on what would be better and how it would be better would be awesome, or some numbers on ideal lumen output ect.. Thanks in advance
