Fluorescent bulbs question

Discussion in 'Lighting' started by Jakechronic, Oct 5, 2012.

  1. Hi guys, just a quick question about fluoro bulbs.. Just wondering how many bulbs and of what wattage I will need to suffice a small grow in a closet of about four plants?
     
  2. Also the measurements of the space are;

    (height x width x depth)
    28x38x20 inches
    2.4x3.2x1.8 feet
     
  3. I would say 14+, 23-26 watt cfls. That wattage seems to be the most cost effective when buying large quantities. The more the better as long as there's enough airflow to keep temps Dow. Shouldn't b too hard with cfls.

    With cfls the most accepted minimum is 100watts for the first plant and 50watts for each additional plant...again this is the minimum...also 6500k light spectrum for veg and 2700k light spectrum for flowering.

    Keep it green
