I'm making my very first box. So far, I have a few box design ideas that I will be sharing at other places on this board. Although my question right now is all about lighting as I shop for lights.

I'm a college student, so money is tight. That's why I've been looking for CFL lights. HPS would be great but it's over 150$ here so I can't do that now.


My box won't be too big but not too small either. I plan to have space for 2 small/shortish plants. Was wondering how many CFL's I need to grow them optimally?

Where can I find a cheap but quality fixture? And what type of fixture am I looking for? And how much power does it use?

Thanks for any additional information
