Yeah, I’d say at bare minimum you need 5k. But I’d shoot for much higher than that. Low light makes them leggy and harder to harden off. I have about 20k now, but I’m going to upgrade to that 40k next season.

Agree.

From my experience I'd say 8K lux at the least for more developed plants.

I read somewhere that 50k is the maximum amount that plants can use, which is similar to a partly cloudy day.

The one I have puts out like 25k at the center, 10k towards the outside. Amazon

But not growing many plants this year so it does fine.
