If you want 125-200 watt cfl's...they are always on ebay. Big cfl's also produce a moderate amount of heat.

If you are in closet I would go with 250w hps(get a son t agro max bulb, they don't make 250 horti, and one of my bro's in the industry...told me that his customers were experiencing problems with the 400w horti-)...veg with some cfl's...

you still need fans and you will have to vent, unless you can leave door open. no way around that. hope this helps.

did that answer your question

here are 3 pix of a barren MUM that I flowered under a 250hps son T agromax bulb...I vegged this particular plant under the same lamp...no cfl's...nada...goodluck

notice the standard for shelfs...they are 2 feet apart.

I need help picking a light. I'm gonna be growing in a closet and I've been reading a lot about lights getting too hot.
