Ok I've browsed long enough I think its time for my first post.

This is probably a stupid question but this is way too much isn't it?

The exact measurements are 20'h, 13'w, 18'd I got a stealth 120mm cpu fan For exhaust and will be aiming for 2 to 3 plants.

How many 105's would I Need in a space this size?

From what I've worked out if I use only three lamps I would have 11812 lumens per sq ft is this more appropriate?
 
For maximum effect, lst the plants, it will increase your yield. CFLs are terrible at penetrating into the plant. So with our friend low stress training we can grow more tops and get some serious budding.

You will need much larger fan to cool those big uns. I had to switch to (3) 42 watt bulbs because the (3) 105 watts i was using produced so much heat that it became an oven in there. I never did figure that problem out. My next grow area is going to come with an air conditioner hehe

Nocturn3- ok thanks mate I'll stick with 2

Justparanoid- damn I was afraid of that, I thought i'd be ok because its only 3cubic feet
And the fan is rated for 53cfm unless I've mixed up my calculations somewhere after all
I am a newb. Oh and I planned on lst'ing due to limited space, thanks
 
Ok as it turns out I couldn't get the 105's in the right voltage so I'm gonna go with
6x 48w cfl's for three plant's in a bubbleponics system. if anyone has any input on
this it would be appreciated.
