What is a "pc" light? LED? Somewhere, there has to be a reference to how much light it produces. If you know who manufactured it, you could look on their web site. If it's two 65 watt bulbs, then it's going to be close to 10 or 15 thousand lumens total. That's enough for about 3 to 4 square feet of plant canopy. Roughly a 2 foot by 2 foot area.
PC is power compact, very similar if not the same as cfl's. doesnt tell me the light production in lumens, 460nm?? http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~PC1652.html
2x2 is all I would need anyway!!
You may want to look into using an HPS for your vegging. It can be used for vegging and also flowering. HPS lighting gives awesome results in both vegging and flowering.
I have a flower room with my hps and veg seperatly so i cannot use my hps for veg. trying to keep a perpetual harvest going.
It's also a concern for soil growers. If you grow in a glass container, the roots will rapidly grow to the outside of the root area and be exposed to light. This lighted area will also be wet and will produce massive quantities of algae growth. That algae growth will use your nutrients and cause ph fluctuations that could result in a lockout of certain nutrients.
It really isn't a good idea to grow in clear containers. That's why no one makes them for plants.
I have never heard of anyone using a clear container for a pot! algae and light on roots are not an issue for me, but thanks for the info!
