I apologize for the current lack of pictures, but I will get some up as soon as possible. My current setup is:
1.5' wide x 1.5' long x 2' high flowering box with 2000 lumens of fluoro from the side, 35watt Hps on top, and soon a 70watt Hps on top as well.
Beside the flowering box is a 2.5' seedling box with 4000 lumens of fluoro. The fluoro light in both the boxes is 2 4' 40W outdoor light tubes(the first 1.5' of the tube is in the flowering box and the other 2.5' are in the seedling box. This will be clear when the pictures are up.
So basically with the 35watt and 70watt hps and the fluoro I will get about 11,000 lumens in a ~2 square foot area hence 5500 lumens per square foot. the walls of the box is also covered with mylar to reduce wasting light.
Medium is pro. potting soil with worm castings and 100% organic ferts in their water.
