I plan on buying 6 cfl reflecting fixtures..maximum watts 150.

The lights i will be using is ,

3-120 watt cool white cfl..that have 2000 lumens per bulb.

3-150 watt warm white cfl..that have 2650 lumens per bulb.

Im going to grow 6-7 plants in a 36 inch wide 59 inch tall grow room.

The walls are all going to be reflected with aluminum/tin.

So do i have enough light..should i add more LIGHTS or go up in the wattage? I have some extra money so i can afford to go up a couple watts.

Thank you

in a word, no, not enough light. the standard for flowering with cfl's is 75 watts per sq ft of growing area. personally, as an hps bigot, i think they're much better for more than a couple of plants.
