any light u add will help id use at the least 4 32-55 watt cfl 6500 color for veg (8400-12500 lumens)u want more for bloom maybe 4-8 68 watt 2700 color. a plant with a prof bulb gets 55,000 lumens for a 400 watt and a 1000 watt gives 110,000 lumens so the less u use the lower the yield. a good chart is .5 grams per real watt used not equivalent, a 23 watt cfl gives 23 watts not 100
yes, but it does not fit with my grow room setup.
use above 200 watt bulbs will create problems.

If you got the 400 watt dimmable that I suggested then just turn it down to 50% an the heat should be more than manageable until you improve your design. If you have a winged reflector a great way to keep them cool is get yourself a small pc fan like grow demon suggested but what I did was mount it at the end of the fixture with paper clips blowing directly back at the bulb, direct your oscilating fan on the ground blowing the same direction and up, it makes a little vortex of air movement going up and away an helps greatly. I ran a 600 watt in a 30x30 closet with a winged reflector this way with a passive intake and a 6" inline fan for exhaust. Get your airflow corrected and you will be fine
alright mr. Jbone77, let's turn it slow down.

I mean if you look at your plants. they look just fine under the 4 cfl's you had.. they are just a little nute burned on the tips.
they sure got pretty big for just 4 bulbs. let that speak for its self
oh my god, you know i'm using cardboard box? LOL
it's awesome, you can using unused goods for a growing.
ya, I think this is quite using CFLs. maybe I'll add some more lights.
