![]() ![]() ![]() | Wow, I didnt even think about lumens. And flowering requires less lumens?? Is that because the lights are turned off half the time, or does it actually require less energy? Very interesting. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | No, flowering actually requires MORE lumens than veg for a good job. It just requires less time under the lumens.. By going 12/12 your basically tricking the plant into thinking its turning fall ( shorter days ) so it will bloom. | ||

Maybe thats not what you were thinking, just thought i would mention it just incase...

what im saying is, it does not matter wich ones you choose, they will both work. i personally veg and flower with my hps. but that is because it gives off more lumens. i wasted enough money when i started on 2 sets of lights, when i could have just baught one set. id get some 26 watt, or 42 watt cfl bulbs (any k rating) and try to aim for around 50-75 watts per square foot of growing space. for example, a 3 by 3 foot room. is 9 sq. ft. so it would take at least 500 watts to get it over 50 watts per sq. ft. | |||
