So this is my second grow and I'm switching from using leds to cfl's. I found that with leds I couldnt get as high a lumen out put as I wanTed. But with cfl's I can get a lot higher of a lumen output and run cooler. So this is for vegging these lights, I'm just wondering if this is a good set up of lights for three afghan ryders in a 60L dwc in a 2'x4'x5' tent.
3 x 85w 5500k 6000 lumen cfl's
6 x 105w 5500k 7000 lumen cfl's.
3 x 55 w 2700k 3600 lumen cfl's
That gives me 70800 lumens and mostly blue spectrum light at 5500k but still a bit of red spectrum light at 2700k at a 3:1 ratio.
Thus is for the vegging cycle mind you bloom I have to work out still.
So will these cfl's get me some good sized vegging plants? I can get them fairly close to the plants as they don't run hot or even that warm and I have a 12" oscillating fan, 8" fan, 4" inline exhaust fan and 5090btu ac intake blowing over the cfl's.
