Too many CFL's imo.. What wattage is your HPS? and depending on that I would pick up at least one more HPS or MH and just run those instead of CFL's

I use CFL's for my grows. I have had 2 successful grows using CFL's. You should try to have at least a 100W equivalent CFL' for each plant, but I would recommend at least 2 100W equivalents per plant. You'll probably still get some stuff that's a little fluffy but it will have a decent density if you go with 2 CFL's per plant. The garage is a hard place to control temps. Hope you live in an area that has a great climate.

You can get a dozen plants or so under one 1000w. I'm running about 26-28 under 2 at the moment. It was about 35 but I just thinned out some males. It's a little cramped at the moment but not too bad. I'll probably thin it down to about 20-24 in the future.

I have one Philips 400W HPS , I read on internet it is good for flowering stage.
If I buy 400W MH for vegetation stage, will it be enough for 5 plants?
And also, I want to build the box for 5 plans, how big it should be?
thank you :O)

I'm not sure what strain it was. It was just bag seed. I've ordered some White Russian for my next grow. Hopefully I'll get to start it soon. Depends on when I get my seeds and if I'll have company for the rest of the summer.
