hi all first growing indoor have a space 5 by 7 want 2 split it to to rooms money is tight so i am forced to used cfls so how many do i need if my veg room is 7 ft long by 30 in deep and like 6 ft tall.but going 2 make a box for just 2 plants i will be covering the walls with Mylar space blankets since i had a ton laying around lucky me u get pics soon any help would be helpful . and where can i buy seeds that ship to the usa i have theses 2000 lumens 45 watt 2700k bulbs and sugestions for which cool white lights to used

dude, hps is alot cheaper and more effecient than cfls if your area is that big. buy a 600w hps bulb and ballast online from one of the like 50 stores that sell em for about $250 or ebay. the amount of cfls required would be much greater with a worse yeild. dont get me wrong i am a cfl grower myself, but hps is much better than cfl in alot of situations where you have a larger area, cfls are best for smaller grows.

money is the issue i can bok it in or make it smaller what size space do u think i need?

How big is the box you are making for the 2 plants?
For vegging, you need to use Daylight CFL's (6500K) the 2700K is used predominantly in the flowering cycle.As for buying seeds, just check in the forums here under seedbank reviews for places that ship to the USA .

Here is a great place to read about growing with CFL's:

Hope this helps
