Quick lighting question for my CFL Grow Box. I have a sick box set up with light space set up for 6 bulbs. I am about to outfit the my box with bulbs and was wondering if it is recommended to mix and match CFL's or if I should just stick to 150 watters?

For example...am I able to use say 2 150 watt bulbs and 4 100 watt bulbs?

Thanks, dudes.

You can mix and match if you want to, but keep it to mostly Daylight.... Love the flag on the side.... LOL

Yes mixing and matching is perfectly acceptable. How will you be keeping that cabinet cool? I don't see any kind of fans or anything?

Check out the pics on the fan situation. Also have a small 8 inch desk fan all set to go in as well on the floor or may mount it in one of the top corner on a small square platform.

Check out the Journal we just set up here tonight. Its a pretty detailed description of the box itself and the goodies going inside it!

The woodwork was pretty straight forward. The panelling is quite thin (1/2") and made for easy cutting with just a cutting knife. The frame itself was a little more complex, but just simple measurements really and a strong arm for the screw driver when your battery runs out for the cordless!
