I am using CFL's for my first grow and was wondering if this amount of light is going to be enough. Im still working out what size grow box I will be using so if you have an suggestions on that bring it on. For 2 plants possibly 3 I will have 8 CFL's 42watt. I was also thinking of mounting 2 of the tube floresents on the sides of the grow box. What do you think? Im in the planning stages and have alot of seeds so when/if I screw up Ill learn what not to do and start over. Also has anyone used that concoction with jack daniels in it that they say you can use in the 4th to 5th week of flowering? If you do how much am I suspose to use when giving it to my plants. When I was reading about it I may have over looked the correct amount.. Here is the link incase you have no clue what I am talking about and want to know about it .

Also how much do you think those lights will run me on my light bill during the 18/6 ? I know cfl's are way cheaper than hps but 8 to 10 lights is what I was going to do.

your light bill will go up at most 10-15 dollars a month..since your using a total of 336watts for 18/6
