Ozzy420 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Using the 23w cfl as many as can get in with out heat probs. With that area u would b better off get a 130w cfl with a reflector, will do a lot better than the 23w cfl's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cap'n yNg Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 You could even go for an 80w CFL or two with that size space. Check out the stoned jesters grow diary, he's the CFL master! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'd go for a single Philips 80W... This light will get you a small harvest if used for growth and flowering. I'd say perfect as a test to see if you like growing... if you like growing it will be a great light for vegging, seedlings and clones and if you don't, the 80W isn't too big for other purposes like lighting a workshop, garage, or outdoor area. Couple of pics of a plant that was scrogged in a fridge under an 80W Philips, about 4 weeks into flower (same hybrid as the one in my log). Complications at the grow location mean she has been outside for a couple of days now... but the pics are still pretty representative of what was achieved with the 80W. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non_smoker0922 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Would something like this be worth putting in for supplemental lighting http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/09/b112adab062782328fe184cf396240f0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Doubtful, something like this would be ideal... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GROW-LIGHT-KIT-ENERGY-SAVER-80W-6500K-CLONING-PROPAGATION-/151288133657?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item233979b819 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
