i think you have a lot more reading to do. how do you figure that you have 400W of light if 4*26= 104W? also, aluminum foil is not the best choice to use for reflecting light. i hope you are at least using the dull side. you would be better off using flat white paint. and if your plants are better than most around here then start a log.

Hey Shake thanks for stopping by. I think im ok at this point, but as they get taller i might try to drop some side lighting to help the under growth. If not i think it would yield only nice colas. It all depends on the cash flow my friend.

LetsSeeYa Reviewed by LetsSeeYa on . My Indoor Grow, Well here i go with my first indoor grow. I dont have everything in place yet but i have two plants/seedling growing. I am only under two 26w CFL's. My plan changed as i found some unused space. I will try to get clones to grow in this shelf which needs enclosed first. Also, a few materials short to do both at the same time. Yes i know what light im currently using isn't enough, but i will be using 8 23w CFL's, which will equal 14,000 lumen's. My 65w bulb blew as soon as he turned it on Rating: 5
