I've got a rubbermaid stealth grow going on soon and I have 1.5' x 2.5' floor space and am growing lowryder #2, there will be 8 plants in 1.5 gal buckets... anyways.
I bought 8 23w cfls rated at 1600 lumens a piece, and two 32w cfls rated at 2100 lumens, would this be enough? And how to I add up lumens? I've heard a few differnt ways but don't know which is the right way. Think I have over 2500lumens per sq foot?
Some people say add all lumens together and devide by sq feet, others say that.... 1600 lumens is 1600 no matter how many you have. If you have more it just means more even lighting at 1600.
Can someone simplify this for me? My space is running at about 82 degrees with both intake and exaust running on high speed so I don't want to add any more bulbs..
