  1. so i was wondering if one could use 20 5 watt cfl bulbs 2700k spectrum to decently flower 1 plant in a micro grow. for example 5 uptop an 5 on 3 of the walls. i was thinking if using such low wattage anyways wouldnt it be better to use 20 5 watt cfls spread out over the top and sides of micro grow space for a more even coverage rather than just a few 40 w cfls ect in one spot. let me know what you guys think. it makes sense to me but i am a newb so let me know.
     
  2. I havent grown anything yet, waiting for my seeds from attitude. Why are you going to use 20 lights? But yes I guess you could since its 100w... a better way to go is a few 40w at the top and some of the smaller ones on the side.
     
  3. I would think that it would be really good for the plant/plants as long as you could keep the temps where you need them.
