New & Improved Lighting

[Maswynram]

Hey Farmers,

I've attached some pictures of our new and improved lightning system and our DIY humidity controller. ( read " DIY Humidity) on my next thread.

So, the new light system installed is a T3 Fluroscent 24 watt lamp. I scrapped my old 40w 2600 lumens & 23 watt 1600 lumens out to get the proper growth lighting.

PLEASE comment your opinions, post pictures of your lighting! I wanna learn new things! Lets converse.

Thank you ,

M

If that's a 4' tube, then it would probably be a "T8", how many tubes only one is showing and second what temp in k is the lamp(s)? (i.e. 6500k, 4100k)

Correction**the light is actually a T5 Dual 2 Fixtures w/ Reflector. Unsure of how to determine the k in the lamp.

Help?

Light is to high, unless that was for the purpose of taking the picture. Those tubes should be 6" above your plant.

The numbers on the end of the tube show wattage "32", type tube in this case T8, the first number in the last group of three numbers show the "CRI" color rendition, and the last two "65" in this case denote 6500K.

Defiantly will lower them. I have to buy some string because the rig I have doesn't fit.

Wow! You learn something new everyday. Currently, my plant is in the dark stages, but once I'm able to go in and give it a look, I'll update about the k.
