Default CFL Lighting Idea
permalink
So last night I was high thinking it up, and I was not sure if anyone else has tried a similar lighting idea.

I was thinking about making a 12"x21.5" plywood rectangle frame and putting 26W CFL's every 1.5", giving you a total of 10 CFL's and 260 actual watts.

I added a picture so you can see what I am talking about.

Do you think this would be sufficient to flower with?

Thanks a lot,
Wutang

Only two plants, this light box would fit with about 2" to spare on each side inside my grow box.

Because I could seperate the lighting box into two boxes so I can adjust their height individually since I have two plants.

And a 250 watt is probably just as big or bigger than a 2x4 and a I need as much space as possible.
