I have 4 adjustable Samsung f564b, similar to quantum boards, fixtures I built and need to find a good setting from transplant of clones through veg.
I just spent an hour online trying to find data that goes against my understanding yet every site I visited said the same thing. That t5's which were 10,000 lumens max were enough for this entire period. Which was my understanding yet went against the data offered by a trustable source on this forum.
During veg I can run them anywhere from about 5000 to about 60000. The one thing that every site stated was that high lumens increase top growth which moves growth hormones from the roots to the green. This is as well the exact opposite advice of our trusted hydro grower.
My thing is that I dont want to waste wattage on a growth period that doesn't need it because electricity up here in the bay area is REALLY REALLY BAD!! I'm not saying I want to grow low watts no matter what I just want to find the sweet spot.
