I want to use reflectors - I think they really concentrate the energy - so I go with three 125's in a 2 x 3 x 6 closet. This is my first grow with this setup though so Ill let you know how it goes. The main reason I use cfl is to minimize heat.

Ive seen amazing grows here with just a bunch of smaller cfl's so I know you can do that too and get great results.
doco Reviewed by doco on . Amount of CFL vs Higher Wattage. Is it worth it to drop the extra money on the big CFLS (105-125 watt 30-50$ a light) Or use multiple low wattage? What do you guys with experience think, because I'm considering using all CFLs to save money but still would like to attempt a sea of green grow in a 4X4 organic soil bed (for 16 clone SOG). Rating: 5
