    i just purchased a 150w hps but then noticed - 16,000 lumens.. is that too much for 3 hydroponic auto-flowers?

    If you can cool it there is no such thing as to much light..

    150 isn't to bad. I need an air cooled hood with a good fan to cool my dual 1k watters

    Thats from excess heat problems. When they get to close to the light they find the hot spot of ur bulb and grow towards it. I have seen this many times
