So I started growing some Northern Lights that I bought a while ago at Amsterdam in some eurotrip. I started germinating them, took 40hours, then put them under 2x 40w 48" fluosrescent. They did not have lights for 24hours ish and I wanted to start slowly with it. Those lights give approx 4k lumens so 8k lumens total for 4 x 1. So 2k every 1 foot square.
Now I keep reading forums and watching videos and stuff and try to gather as much informations as I can. My plants are growing good, they all look good. Ive 5 of them right now and 4 others germinating.
I added 2x 40w 2.6k lumens bulbs yesterday for their first 18veg light session. After the first nap of my babies, I added 2 more 40w 2.6k lumens bulbs so theyve light from 3 different directions.
But if I calculate correctly
2.6 x 4 = 10.4k lumens + 8k = 18.4k lumens
From the 8k id say 50% isnt used so 4k
18.4k - 4k = 14.4k
I do not have reflector and stuff so I guess im losing a certain % of those lumens. My 5 plants are on a 1foot by 1foot chair. The 2 fluos are right on top of the plants and the 4 bulbs are a litle away since they produce more heat and I dont want to burn the plants.
Is that too much light for a 4days old plant?
Thanks a lot. Nice forum btw! Im a new passionate
