hi im using a box that is 3 square feet total, running 4 ft floros,what would be a reasonable output? right now i have 2 ballast running 2 lights each, so that means as of now i am running 4100lumens per square foot, is this going to be enough for flowering as well? does anyone have any setup ideas? i have the two ballast hanging together and my plant isnt directly under a light its kinda positioned in the middle of both, is this ok?

It's my impression that for flowering you'll want to add in some CFLs, as I've only heard of people using tube fluoros for vegging.

when i started out i used furo tubes you will need to get warm red tubes for flower.i think for 4ft lamps the highest wattage is 58 watt cant remember the lumens but they do a job if that is all you have.be safe the postman.

thanks i will pick up some warm today, do you think i have efficient light as of now? i dont like the box i built for it, do you think i could drop the box, pick up another light and do it in a 6sq ft room?
