Overkill AC max lighting

[mk_michael]

Anyone ever try running 2k watts with 24k AC or anything similar for max lumens?

I run just over 11,000 lumens/sqft

mk, I don't quite understand your question? Max lighting has to do with running a lot of lumens per sq ft. I am not understanding the A/C question?

I have found that when I get over about 7500 lumens per sq ft, it doesn't make much if any difference in my growth. PC, do you think the fact that you are running CO2 enables your plants to utilize more light? Or am I just doing something wrong with my grow?

Co2 and heavy/frequent feedings allow for better usage of light.
With the extra lumens the plants need more food more often. When you throw in Co2 they really get hungry quick. If you think you have a deficiency it is to late. The more energy received, the more energy is needed in the form of food to take advantage of it and have the plant utilize this energy in the form of buds/plant growth
