I read the budget lighting guide on here and it really helped through veg. I was going to put two more cfl's on a splitter and hang them down this weekend. With the 42/150 watt cfl's at 2600 lumens, how many would be enough to really produce in flower? I can hang those things at any angle which is kind of cool, but the mrs says I can get a nice light setup for the second grow. I think she's getting into this as much as I am and that always helps :thumbsup: heck, she gave me her basement closet.
I suggest you take the T12 lights and run those vertically on opposite sides of the plants if you have two individual units, that will go a LONG way to helping get those bottom sites lit up for better yield.
