IS THIS SETUP OK?

[chronic50s]

i got a bathroom cabinet that is 5x3x4 with mylar on all walls. A 70 watt hps, one of those two bulb 4 ft floro fixtures(two cool white for veg, and two warm white for flowering), three 100 watt cfl (cool white), and three 100 watt cfl(warm white), a couple of fans are in there too..total lumens are 23,000......Will this be sufficient for 3 plants doing a hydroponic ScrOG grow?

Sounds pretty OK to me, I mean you know a 150 hps or two would be better, but keep the lights close and you'll get some good smoke.

Lumens aren't light temp, kelvin is light temp. Lumens more or less rate how bright the light is to human eyes.

skryllz , your right , i had it all switch'd around in my head , deleted that post so I wouldn't spread my mis-information , thanks for setting me straight

see if this is right ,,, you have two 4' tubes , thats 10 watts a foot , 80 total , plus 70 hps = 150 +300watts of cfl's , = 450 watts total (of diff temp. light , I have no idea how this figures in ) now your room is 5x3 and 4' tall , thats 15 sq foot I think the rule is 50 watts per sq foot ( I read here somewhere ) , 15 x 50 is 750 ... now if your room is 3x4 and 5' tall that 12 sq and 600watts

plz correct me if i'm wrong , I'm trying to figure this all out too , where does the lumens come in , i was confused with lumens and kelvin being so close , how does mix'n light temps affect the equation

50 watts per sqft minimum.
Lumens is the amount of light the plants get.
,ixing lights just provides a full spectrum of light but hps an mh penetrate more than CF.
