CFL Wattage ?

So Im on my second grow right now with a totally different setup then my first. I built a 30" X 30" box about 25" deep. I have 9 clones ranging from 2-4 inches tall that just came outta the clone dome and are on day 2 of veg with a total of 198 watts in the box. Have three spliters with (6) 26w cfls and 1 42w, the inside is lined with mylar and it looks like all plants have plenty of light. This time i'm trying something different and only going to veg tell about 12" tall. I'm curious if that is enough light for now or how many watts should I aim for all plants are about 2-3" from the lights. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
 
i think you're fine for now.. clones don't really need all that much light imo till they start to get a bit bigger..

i've got about 10 or so solo cups that i just put beans that haven't sprouted yet under only about 50 or so actual watt's of cfl's atm and they always seem to do fine under that amount of light till i move them under the hids..

what are you planning on doing for flowering or when they get a bit bigger though m8??
 
I have another room with my hps but on my first grow I vegged and flowered in the same room and my ladies are on week 3 of flowering so I needed a new spot. Im going to be adding some more lights just trying to get by for a week or so and just trying to figure out what system will work best im really ocd so ill probably change things around a lot lol. thanks for the info
