NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP WITH CFL
Ok soo my first time growing, I have a nice space in my closet for growing it is about 3' by 4' and 3' deep. I want to run just cfl for the veg and flower is this possible? I bought 2 plant lights from walmart that are big bulbs with blue on the end 125 watts should i run those for flowering. I plan on planting 2 seeds of white rhino and 2 seeds of cyber crystal hopefully those are a easy to grow. But any how do i need to put a door on or some plastic to enclose the area or can i leave it open to the rest of the closet. If i can use cfl can you let me know which ones to use! Please I need some real help.

you can use cfl from start to finish, but you wont have as big of a yield if compared to a HPS....your buds wont be as dense and compact either...........
its best to use daylight(bluer) 6500k lights for veg, and redder (3000K) for veg

actually use blue spectrum 6500K for VEG GROWTH and red spectrum 3000k for FLOWERING, all 100W.
You need complete sealed darkness with a fan on them for 12 hours.
Then 12 more hours of red spectrum light for the flowering.
Back and forth like this for about 6-8 weeks watering every 3 days with pH balanced water. [about 6.5 pH]
It is up to you if you want to use added nutes or not.

Your BEST bet is to use ALL your lights through the whole cycle.
At some point it even helps to mimmic seasonal sunlight changes by actually cycling through the kelvins at different times during the day-period with a peak of both at a certain point...
If you can get your hands on good soil, you do not need fertilizers.
Chemical and even some organic fertilizers only speed up growth and increase yield. They do NOT increase potency of the plant.
SOME organic fertz can in fact increase potency if done properly. Potency is usually a genetic trait however.
As far as a door goes, it would be more efficient if you could enclose it. Due to the low light factor the closer the walls are to your plants the better, in a way. An open wall on your box will create a large gaping area for light to "escape". Enclose the box and wrap the walls with MYLAR.
