lighting question

    i am getting ready for my first indoor grow
    and i just finished building my box
    it is 5 feet high by 3 feet wide by 4 feet deep

    i am looking to do an all cfl grow
    and only bulbs i can get at home depot to keep the cost down
    i am going to grow 3 or 4 plants at a time
    veg for three weeks then to flower

    so i was wondering how many lights would i need to sufficiently light this space for 3 or 4 plants

    thanks
    sundance

    I'm doing pretty much the same thing you're doing and im only on week 2. Main advice,

    don't just look for the highest wattage bulbs, you need to look at what the color

    temperatures of the bulbs are, for vegging, youre gonna mainly need Daylight bulbs, and I

    throw in a couple Soft White bulbs just to have the whole spectrum in there.

    This is a guide to pretty much all you need to know about CFL's:
