    I finally got some lights , ( 65watt cf's ) , so i decided that one would be enoguh for my first grow (2 plants) , just as a test run to get the hang of growing... I also have a fan that will be blowing towards the plant and the light 24hours a day and another one to keep the closet area cool .... I also draped a bed sheet over the shelf so that the light doesnt spread to strongly .... ( Could this cause a fire? :/ )

    Well here is my set up :)

    In this picture it shows you where one of the fans is , the purpose of this fan is to keep the grow area as cool as possible ... and it will be set to low 24 hours a day.

    ....

    it depends on how many sq. ft. 1 of those lights per 18" x 18" are would be bare minimum...

    put that light horizontaly mounted, they work much better like that. Looks like you dont have the funds to grow and need to save up a bit. Dont bother until you cna get the right supplies. you might be able to get 2 seedlings to about 3 weeks, anything past that wil take at least 2 more lighs or some tube floros.

    and I dotn think that is a 65w CFl it looks like a 20-23 W, what number are you reading? Is it the compared to incandecant light or is the the actual power consumption? I have a 42 w spiral CFL and its 3" dia and 4" long and thats just the bulb itself.
