I've got a 2 and half foot tall plant, two weeks into flowering, under a shop light in my closet. During vegging I had two flourescent lights that were called daylight and was 3050 lumens and 6500k spectrum. Just today I changed those out for two new tubes that were 2650 lumens with 4100k spectrum. The new tubes seem much hotter than the daylight tubes. I am afraid it may be too hot and don't want to damage teh plant. Does this setup sound ok or do you think it is too hot?
