you are right on the lights. my bad i was using my conversion watts instead of my actual watts but my box has about 4,000 lumens per sq. ft of grow space. And yes I am using the dull side of the foil. I understand that my grow situation isn't the best but this is all being done on a budget and I'm basically just saying that it doesn't take a crap load of cfl's or a special mh or hps light to have healthy small and decent yielding plants. I will prob. add one or 2 150w equiv warm white bulbs but other then that all seems well and until I run into problems I'm happy with the small space I am using to grow. I have lots of pics and will do a full grow log once I'm done. for security reasons I don't want to start my log while I'm still actively growing my flowers. I just read a lot and incorporate the things that other people add to similar grows like mine. Thank you for the input though and I don't mean to botch your log so I will stop posting all this info about my grow. keep up the good work though.

I have 2 clones at the moment underneath. using the cheapo set up with splitters etc. walls lined with mylar. is this the best lighting setup for this space?? anymore seems to just be inefficient as i don't want to run the cfl's vertical....i want that bit of an angle that the splitters provide.
