176 CFL Watts Quick Question

  1. Hey guys so Im thinkin about starting just a little indoor grow .
    I plan on doing SCROG style with alot of LST
    Just got a few question i've done grown before just one plant at a time thoo.
    So im just lookin for some advice before i jump into this one .
    Im going to be growing 2 Fire OG Kush plants in soil most likely in one of those rubbermaid containers. Do you guys think
    4x26Watt 2700k
    2x23Watt 5000k
    1x26Watt 3500k
    176 Watts total .
    Would be enough lighting to take them through their whole life cycle ?
    Thanks In Advance :smoke:
     
  2. yes, more than enough. i have 6 26watt cfls. my tomatoes are growing vigorously.
     
  3. ya that should be enough for two plants the only thing you should worry about is it there is enough room in the rubbermaid tote
     
  4. Yeea thats truee but if worst came to worst i figure i could just stack another on top of it up side down and just mount the light in it. That way its two totes tall , because i plan on ScRoGing em and LST so theyll be bushy lil guys . :smoke:
     
  5. yes thats plenty, but so you know 6500k is best for Veg and 2700K is optimal flower for CFL
     
  6. Your really going to have to watch your temps as well. It gets pretty hot with that many cfl's in a small space.
