Yeah I can defiently tell the difference. Ya I finally decided how im gonna start.

For veg ill prob run x8 of those 23w/100w cfl's that do 1600l at 6500k.

For flower I'll prob run about 6 of those cfls(same watts as above) at 2700k and run 4 of the 6500k

But spread over about 40" for 2-3 plants

A lot of people use mylar and other things to reflect their walls, what is cheap and very useful at the local hardware store? I can see the problems with foil

Also, are you going to make some kind of hood for those lights in the pictures?
