I need some help on this. I have a cabinet 2'X3'X5'high that I want to use as a veg room. I have a bunch of stuff laying around that I would like to use for this but don't know how well it will work.
I have 6 flouro shop lights that I was going to mount vertically, 3 on each side of the cab, and an 8 bulb cfl fixture w/23w bulbs on chains from the top.
This will give me a total of 48800 lumens, which is plenty.
My question comes from using the shop lights. I read that they need to be very close to the plants, which they would be eventually as the plants grow, but at the beginning they wouldn't. The cab is flat white on all surfaces.
Would there be useful light from these side lights at 12"? The cab is light tite.
Where would the light go if not to the plant?
I hope this is a clear explanation of my questions.:smokin:
