LUMENS AND MARIJUANA GROWING
Now for the big question. How many Lumens
do I need? Well this depends on three things.
(1) How much do you want to spend? (2) How many
plants do you have? (3) How big is your grow
area.
You do not want to go less than 2500
Lumens, even for one plant. You want to get the
best so you need to hit the 45000 mark or more.
In general one light that casts 45000 lumens is
enough to cover a workspace of about 3 feet by
3 feet. This is quite an average space and you
will probably get anything between 6 - 9 plants
in that area. Again we must keep in mind the
strain that we are growing. One large sativa
plant can cover a 9 square foot grow area in no
time. Short indica plants are different. You
can get maybe 12 plants into a 9 square foot
grow area. If you really want to pump up your
plants then you may consider a lamp that casts
100,000 Lumens or more. If you want a bigger
grow area then you may consider 2 lamps that
cast 100,000 Lumens each. All is relative to
how much you want to grow and the size of your
grow room.
Let’s say for the record that we would like
