CfL lighting problem
Actually, no.
Just realized that you are talkin about a very small cabinet.
We don't know squat about metric in the U.S. so I hadda look it up.
Subtract 10 cm. for soil, 10 cm. for lights, 5 cm. for headroom and you might, with great difficulty, grow a single 35 cm. plant
If you could shoehorn more lights into it, you'd have no room for the plants.
Yield will be very disappointing at best.
And CFLs run cool, not cold.
That 96 Watts of heat needs to be dealt with.
My advice?
A much bigger cabinet, and add an HPS light for flowering.
Factor in the electricity cost in the present plan and you are way ahead just buying your meds.
Seriously, if you can't upsize your cabinet, you are spinning your wheels here.
Aloha,
Weezard
