Im using two 23 watt, two 13 watts but switched a 13 out for a 15 when one of them burnt out. I have seen lots of CFL grows on this site but everyone is using way more lights and yet my plants look simular if not better then some CFL grows. Not sure of the brands because im usin a couple different kinds.

The box im growing in is just a box that i built out of some wood i had layin around, its four feet tall by four feet wide but only a foot and a half deep( built the box when i was to baked and wasnt thinkin hha) the lights are attached to a 2x4 wit chains on either side for raising or lowering my lights. door and walls have tin foil on them and i recently made a reflector for the lights. made out of cardboard and tin foil. not the safest but since my CFLS run so cool there isnt really a risk of fire from that. i have photos of my whole box and setup in my profile but since im new to this i dunno if ur able to look at it. haha thanks bro

you can do a lot with a small # of cfl's, i've gone the same direction a bit fewer cfl's and a bit lower temps
this plant has been vegged and flowered with just 3 26w cfl's
78watts on that one plant?. each plant i have gets about 36 watts but i have my plants LSTing. im gonna try to get some new pics up tomorrow. what kinda soil do you have in that pot.
Peace

yeah, you're real micro. i thought i was scraping the bottom of the power envelope, but your plants look real nice though
for soil, i'm using MG Organic Choice garden soil, with a bit of perlite, dolomite, and bone meal
