Well i use 6 100 watt cfls & 2 300 cfls to veg,and must say works well and you can keep them very close to plants which helps keep them small.I plan on using a metal H 400 watt lamp which i know will be better for them and being ive got 10 clones to veg i expect a bettergrow thru out....Course im useing a 400 watt HPS lamp for flower.....I think cfls would lack nough lighting needed.
All i know is my first plant OMG is awesome using cfls to veg & HPS to flower.Almost ready to harvest and once again awesome
rudolfskis Reviewed by rudolfskis on . Lighting for my box 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 Rating: 5
