    4 x 100w equivalent cfl's 5000k

    Two outtake hoses with fans on inside one fan blowing on plants the orher smaller fan blowing out the box. I keep it cracjed in the closet so the heat doesnt build up. I have two vents on roof though and the box is near a window. Temp always at 76 and 67 at night.

    Sounds great remember to use the real watts not the equivalent. you want 100 actual watts per plant 50 for each more when dealing with cfls.

    Thank you...been needing that answer. Could that be why each set of leaves r dying after the new growth?

    Oh thanks been looking for that answer...i def need alot more lights but i hav a question. Bought metal halides a couple times but didnt kno i needed a ballast and returned them...does a ballast need to be hard wired? I think lighting is a reason why leaves r dying everytime new growth forms
