so if i use a couple 68w 2700k cfl plus the two 23w 2700k's i should be good for flower of two autoflower less than 2 foot plants? i might also throw in the 42 w 6500k bulb to the flower box, if i can get a bigger 6500k like a 100 watt or bigger to use by itself in a veg box.

that much height is going to be a massive problem for you when the plants start getting bigger. You will definitely need to top or train them to keep their height down. you will more than likely have heat issues too, contrary to popular opinion even cfls give off a fair bit of heat. good ventilation will help with any temp issues.that being said, people grow in pc cases so i dont see why you cant do this successfully.

125w should be fine for 2 plants. even less will be fine. more light = bigger buds, but you will get buds regardless. just remember the more lights you add the more heat you'll create. i hope you got a thermometer.....

i think you can only get the big ass cfls from grow shops, ive never seen them in home depot or whatever anyway.

edit: oh and buying a big cfl off the internet should be fine...

thanks xray, ya after i built the veg box n put in the light i was like shit i have barely ne height but i will be growing a flower box at least a foot taller. since the autoflower i have should sex before 20 days i think in that time they wont be above the current height of the space in the veg box, so once they sex i will move them to the flower box which will be a foot taller or so. im also hopefully using the veg box for stuff that i will put outdoors so hopefully theyll stay under that size until im ready for them outside.
