How much light?
Having too much light for your grow space can severely inhibit yields and quality. Many growers seem tempted to push the wattage in an attempt to get a higher yield from their grow space however these attempts are repeatedly proven to be a waste of time and money.
There are a few reasons to use the ideal 'lumens per square inch' for your room:
- Increased Yield
- Increased Potency
- Increased Essential Oils
- Less Equipment Cost
- Less Electricity Cost
Simply put, too much light stunts growth and makes plants generally unhappy.
