Ok, I have searched for the past 2 days and canâ??t seem to find what I need. I'm going to try an indoor grow box about 2Ft long x 1ft 4in wide x 3ft 6in tall. Going to put 2 or 3 plants in there what would be the best lighting to use? Also what would be the cheapest light I could use and still get some good product in a reasonable time frame? Also where can I get these lights at, and any other info you could give me would be great I have read most of the FAQ and a few other threads but would like as much info as I can get.
:smokin: :smokin:
Thanks in Advance

Lighting its a matter of $$$ and the requiered ventilation if u can afford a MH or a HPS u will need lots of vent for that area ..... those would be the best lights to use, since ur looking for the cheapest look into fluoro tube lights or cfl´s they are really cheap and get the job done with good results as far as i know...but imo u arent searching well enough there are hundreds of good posts about these questions just take the time to read them...

I have found these which would be best if any at all?
and how many would I need?
And I figure one fan for every two lights?

I have the 23watts. 3 of them are in a small cab and I have a 12" cage fan and my temps are around 82. But this is in a garage that only has one vent for ac, so Im sure if it were inside the temps would be upper 70s. I am pretty sure there is a bigger bulb like 150 at lowes or home depot for 20 bucks. Thats what im going to replace my 3 23watters with. Good luck bro - Diz:rasta:

Dude those will do fine...i just cant say in which cycle since i cant see how many Kelvin they put out, anyway from 5500K you get nice spectrum for veg cycle, and around 2200K u get the spectrum for flower cycle..use as many bulbs as u can without getting the temp off the roof, although u can manage the temp with some fans...happy growing
