The accepted rule of thumb around here is 100 true watts (not equiv) of CFL per plant, but more light = more bud so use as much as you can get away with. Obviously, don't let the temp rise too high, about 75 deg F if you can. Mine got as high as 91 deg F last time and it seriously affects growth/yield.
You look like you have if covered though 
Good luck man, and +rep for starting  |
I understand the concern about the cardboard but I'm not so sure I can really convey how sturdy this cardboard is...it's like 1/4 inch thick.
it's kinda liek plywood but obviously nto THAT sturdy. But for real, the shit is heavy duty. For those of you that have seen fridge box cardboard before know what I'm talkin about. It's pretty tough just how it is....but I have it doubled up. It was tough shit to cut through even with a brand new blade on my utility knife.
I dunno...I guess i'll see how it comes out in the end but for real...I'm confident it'll go the distance. thanks!
