Lighting Light Distance Using 250 hps from start to finish

why is my lumens off?
 
I meant for your high end

Pretty much anything over 7.5k is useless and gives you no extra return

Answered and stood corrected by don,so i edited mate,ya gotta be quick lol :smokebuds:

I don't understand what you mean.are you saying anything over 7500 lumens is useless? Never heard that before,and not sure how factual it is.

the earth at peak recieves 10k+ in lumens with a higher par watt
7.5 k was quoted by ed for a sativa variety in his old book in the late 80's off memory, he has since increased his recommendations by a fair bit

that aside a grow room using hydroponics and co2 injection should be able to utilise more light than this thus the reason i put depending on strain and set-up next to my figure
 
lol 7.5k is a solid number id prefer to run that than 10k but some people will get away with more

your lr2 look fine for 7.5k :)
 
Nice info guys.
Shum bro,its sharing info that helps us learn mate.and what you and don have mentioned,I'd not heard before as iv never messed with hps, so all good brotha :smokebuds:
