I am trying something different with this grow than usual. This is the set up i will be using. I have two plants black domina and a super silver haze plant. The super silver haze was started from the seed and the black domina is a clone. i am using 9 26 watt cfls and 1 48'' cool white tube and 1 48'' ecolux grow light tube. each cfl is 26 w and is equal to 100 watts and they each give out 1750 lumens each i think the two tubes put out like 5000 lumens together as well so total watts are 980 watts it all equal about 19000 lumens total and this is my set up for vegging as soon as i get the camera charged i will post pics. just to describe how it is set up i have all 9 cfls mounted to a board hanging in the back of the plants and i have the tubes hanging over the top of the plants all walls are covered in white black mylar and the total area is 4' x 3' by the end of grow and during flowering i will be adding one more cool white tube and one more ecolux grow tube for side lighting
