7000 Lumens on 13w??? That seems a little high. I run Citizen 1818 COBs at over 50w each and they are at 11-12k lumens. What lights exactly do you got?

THEY'RE called KAAAAHBS Joe's dad's stuff

It does sound overstated on the power. Two bulbs for 26 watts over each plant will be short on power. Spread out evenly and that may work, unfortunately if it's not enough, which I think will be the case, then the girls will stretch to try to get more light. I would start the lights at 24" and see how it goes. I would have a plan B just in case.

You best check everything again because, at this moment, I am starting a seedling under a 6500K 14.5w/100w ewuivalent, deglobed LED replacement bulb and it's rated at 1521 lumens. Given that one comes from a reputable and known EU "manufacturer" (even though they're French) I'll take that 1521lm over your 7000lm every day of the week.

You might have enough for ONE plant, imo, no way are you getting six off of that unless you are just doing the first 2-3 weeks with them.

Lights touch the plants. Lights are very cool running 72 deg f. This is just for fun ive already reached my quoata growing outdoors. My entire set up was 100$ energy is 12$ estimated per month. Im looking for 4 ounces total harvest dry so far it looks promising

Im not completely positive on light strenght the info came from the box off the cheap led lights. What is the formula for figuring light power per sq grow inch anyone ?

Nice work, looks like you will get your target, based on your bud sites.

If you have a vaguely accurate lux meter, not an app on a phone because I know how far off these things are, then

Lumens = 0.093 x Lux x Area in ft²

For metric, it's Lux x Area, remove the 0.093
