For my first grow , I was writing things down and asking google all kinds of questions. Like how to measure sq feet lol. All I know is how to measure , but there's allot of free calculators for sq feet online. And there's a lumens guide in this forum somewhere. I did allot of research and this is my 2nd grow I just followed the basic outline of my last grow. The only difference now is I'm using a closet instead of a armoire. The lumens are off a little but I calculated for max lumens anyways so I'm still in the healthy range.
jiggsaw Reviewed by jiggsaw on . Do cfl lights have to be close to the plants always? I have 12 26w 100w equivalent 6500k cfl's. I have them connected to y connectors on 2 power strips. They are hanging down really close , like 3 inches from my plants. Do they always have to be really close? My plant is so small right now it seems like only one light would work. The whole grow box is painted flat white until I buy some mylar. The box is like 2 feet deep 4feet wide and six feet tall. Rating: 5
