Stealth Grow box cfl question

Chainsmoker420 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-08-2009, 09:00 AM

I have a new bigger grow box It's approx 45" tall (3 3/4 ft) tall, 33 in (2 3/4 foot) wide, 28" (2 1/4 foot) deep box, I have it light tight with a pretty big exhaust and a decent size intake, i have to get my camera cord to upload pics and I am going to start a grow journal but I need advice on CFLs I am thinking something like 3 27w daylight cfls at 5500k-6500k for plant growth, and soft white 2700k for flowering is that right?? i want to use those because of electricity and the smaller space Thanks for any help!

How many plants you looking to grow? With 3 27 watters you could do one, maybe two, but i would get some more. 100 watts per plant is generally seen as the ideal, but it's mostly just a guideline.

edit-posting the same thread twice is not needed
