I use two 26watt bulbs per plants and they get nice and bushy even at two feet tall.
Thanks for the comment... i know it gives more light at a 45 but im limited on the spliters moving the bulb to far away from the top.. my ability to hang the lights is restricted in the stealth chest of drawers... later i will remove it and just use the closet but I needed to cut down the sq feet to get usable light on the plant.. people may think im crazy for saying that but I started in just the closet and the growth was slow and not nearly as bushy as in the chest... There could have been other factors but in here I can get light to bounce back touching the undergrowth nicely... How much did you harvest with your cfl veging the plant?
