Total hypothetical...say you want 4 plants, drop the males as soon as you can...having 2 females hopefully. about 4000lumes during veg and 2700 flowering using cfl with aluminame covers all around and fan... would that work...sorry if that was short but we all know how sketchy the gov is...they really dont need warrents to go through our this shit and find whos doing what...but would that work...any suggestions or comments would much much be appreciated...

Bra, ya need A LOT of Lumens. Try more around 10 x's as many as ya stated. 2K Lumens really aint close to shit. W/CFL's ya want to use kelvin ratings between 2700-5000, and as many lumens as possible

look at my setup bro, all you need for two per say, keep in mind this is just a small on the side cfl project i have, but since your question is about cfls here ya go

well i moved two from there under an hps and that little one was a stray seeling that grew outside (miraculously in the snow and cold) and i just brought it in a day ago, but yes i you are right bout that, thats why cfls arent too great for multiple plant grow ops, thats why i bought a super CFL ..150 actual watts ..12,000 lumens and im gonna use the smaller ones for side lighting

hey 9im new and growing soon but i had 3 26w 1750 lumen each cfls and one broke when i was screwing them in so i have 2 which gives me 1750+1750=3500 lumens total the grow space is 16" in hight 15" in depth and 9' in width so it is very small but i am going to be adding 2 13w cfls also with the 2 26w ones giving me a total of 1750+1750+800+800=5100 lumens in total is that good enough to get 5-10 plants into sex and keep 2-4 plants to bud/flower with? will it work? i am majorly lsting all the plants will this work? please help me
