Cfl Lighting

  1. Hey everyone! Looking at wiring up my light fixture soon and would like some input (safety and thoughts) on good or bad. I've read to,use 12-2 or 14-2 wire to wire the fixtures. I will be using the 14-2 wire. I am planning on running 6 fixtures on that one wire/plug. In each fixture will be a Y splitter with two 26 watt CFL's. Totalling 12 bulbs with 312 watts total. A) is this amount of watts safe on the 14-2 wire. B) what wire nuts do I use to wire three 14-2 wires together? Bit of noob for wiring..

    FYI I will be using a 3-5gal hempy bucket (perlite/verm mix) in a 2x1.5x3 (feet) grow box). S&p inline 135 CFM fan with phresh filter in flowering. Two 3" intakes (passive) and a fan inside. I will be using both spectrums of lights veg and flower (blue and red accordingly). I cannot go HID so I'm going with the CFL's to give it a fair shot.

    Any thoughts on potential yield if all goes well. I was hoping for a couple zips or so...fem northern lights blue will be strain potentially. Any feedback welcome on all parts of grow as well, not just wiring...
