I agree shovel. I use 1KW for vegging and used to use them for flowering too but had more area to cover so I went with 3 400's and am having excellent results! Nice large and dense flowers covered with trichomes...I see no difference with this harvest compared with many 1KW harvests from the past. But for a cabinet I'm afraid I'd have to suggest this person use nothing larger than a 250 with supplimental lighting from a couple banks of flouro's in the top corners of the cab to create a half hexagon effect (if you can picture it...or picture a box with the top edges rounded off using a bank of 2 tubes on each side, long enough to fill the length of the interior edge). I would also recommend you get one with a remote ballast. You're going to have enough battles with the heat, especially once the heat of summer arrives and a remote ballast will help distribute it better than one that is attached to the bulb/reflector.
madeline Reviewed by madeline on . Home depot lighting I am going to grow 2-4 plants inside a cabinet I am building. I'm going to make the cabinet about 30 inches deep or so and 5 1/2 feet tall and 4 feet wide. I was at Home Depot and saw some 240watt and 450watt lights. They were about 35$ a piece. I think they were MH or something like that. Is one of those enough? Do you think I could add a couple more types of lights that I could buy from Home Depot? Fluorescent maybe? Ideas? Second question...Can anyone recommend a good high potency plant Rating: 5
