Getting the max out of the lights you have?

win or lose guys/gals it is about the game… two number1 teams facing off in what i think will be a historic grudge match!!

A 85 watt cfl produce 4250 lumens, more or less depend on the model, at 1 meter, you should not place your lamp at 15 cm you’ll risk light burn. @DieHigh55

here is a little on lumes

Horticultural industry standard for HID lights is 50 watts per square foot.

Seedlings and clones require about 400-1000 lumens per square foot.

Vegetative growth requires about a minimum of 2,000 to 3,000 lumens

per square foot.

Flowering requires about 5,000 to 10,000 lumens per square foot,

ideally, and can take possibly much more.

Flowering can be done under 2,000 lumens but is not ideal

and more likely to result in light “airy” buds.
