If you run that many CFL's your cab will get hot and your gonna need to run fans for an intake and exhaust. I have 12 CFL's and 1 4' dual floro tube just for my 2 plants and you seen how small they are!

Would I be better off just focusing on 3 good plants then and still go with CFL's? Reason being CFL's are cheaper for me to come up on then a MH/HPS Set up id LOVE to get.

How hot would a closet get with 18 cfls, 30 watt 6400k lights? (guesstimate?)

Thanks
