I have been all over the net looking up growing with LEDs There are so many threads on them but I've looked at the dates and they all seem to be from years ago .I want to grow about 4 plants and was wondering I have 4 100w 1400 lumen 5000k lights they are white light not red or blue I got them from Lowes would these be enough for veg stage? Thx for any help also plan on putting in 2 23w 1450 lumen 6500k bulbs and the pic any shows 2 lights I will have 4 and the pic with the lights lit up is only two of the lights very bright !
Not enough Lumen here 1400 is very poor ...5000 kelvin is almost cool white, better to consider 400w HPS/MH digital ballast...unless you have the cash for a proper led
The lumens don't add up ? 4 1400 lumen bulds dont add up to 5600 lumens ? Plus the two CFLs are 1000 lumens so that wouldn't be 7000 lumens
