Ok I have a 48 x 24 x 60 grow tent. Im using the bubblepontics fro Stealth Hydro. I bought the 12 plant set up with the extra resavior. I want to run CLFS Have it all figured out but what to see if Im over doing it or not.....ok I have 4 Hoods my son made and very very refective with mogal sockets. Iwant to run 4 125watt 6500 lumens ( real wattages) for vegitation and 2 CFLS 43 watt full spectrem on each wall 11 inches above the bottom of plant so about mid ways about blooming time. Then for bllooming I want to run 4 125 watt 2700 lumens heats not an issue ........just wonder if thats enought light or to much and I will be watching every day to make sure of distance of lights...... So am I on the right track of am I completely wrong? Thanks for any replys..

it really comes down to size, that will work fine till a point and then you'll notice that you lose as much, as fast, as the new growth comes in.

For flowering I would go HPS if heat is not an issue. CFL always seems to be under performing when you look at the wattages.

defiantly go with a hps for flowering the cfls don't have the penetration needed for flowering.. not saying it wont work just saying a HPS would increase your yeild
