I went with 8 23W cool white bulbs at 5000k. And 1 65W CFL with a 6500K spectrum. 184W at 5000K. 65W at 6500K. Total of 249 watts for $34 bucks The space is 4'X4', and needs to take care of 4 clones and 4 vegging. What do ya think, will this work alright? I was thinking I could also take back one of the 4 packs of bulbs ($12) and pick up another 65W 6500K CFL ($10). Would ya do this or leave it as it is? Thanks for any suggestions!
Hm, that's a tough one. I think having more lights will be better than just 1 for placement reasons, but the 65W bulb would probably be more efficient. I would say leave it as it is just because your space is so large. Or compromise and just buy another 65W bulb
