My box is 3x3x3, I was planning to go all CFL but now I want to throw a150w HPS light in to the mix. The CFL's I have are 19w warm light (2700k) 1200 lumens. I have 12 of those.
I don't think ill need them all with a h p s
How can I set this up to get the most efficient grow in this box with 4 plants?
you need more height...IMO
It's kinda what I'm limited to. You think it would get to hot with a hps?Quote:

I have 2 150 hps in a 4/2/6 tent and it gets hot without a fan
damn maybe i should stick to straight cfl's
probably 2.5 feet.Quote:

and I agree, anything but cfl,s or led,s would be too hot to that area
