I completely agree. CFLs need to be within a few inches max of the plant. CFLs dont put out alot of heat but if they touch the bulb it will definitely burn. Bring the bulbs down around the plant and you will do much better.
GetThisOrDie Reviewed by GetThisOrDie on . My CFL growbox So after much research and threads on here I finished my grow box and started the project. I picked up some Purple Kush and Blue dream clones (one of each) at my local dispense and set it up. Its been about a week and the clones are looking healthy and are about 7 inches tall (pics coming soon). I have the box well ventilated with a fan that pumps air in and out through a carbon filter. For lighting I have 2 1650 lumens 5000k CFLs 2 1650 lumens 2700k CFL bulbs 1 4200 lumen 2700k bulb Rating: 5
