Is there a max wattage for CFL per plant?

  1. I’ve scrolled through the forums more than I can count but I’m still puzzled on this question.
    I have a micro grow space that’s 18”x21”x55”
    And I’d like to maximize gains in that available area. From all that I’ve read to use HPS and LED wouldn’t be possible once turned to flower because it would stretch too much for the height limit.

    How many led lights / watts are used / suggested?
     
  2. The only limiting factor I can think of is Heat.
    I'd keep adding them, one a day and keep track
    of how hot it gets.

    The more light, the better.

  3. You can’t get bleaching from too many CFLs? You could potentially put an unlimited amount of CFLs in a space as long as it was cool enough?
