i check my homedepot store online and this is the biggest cfl light they have = http://www.homedepot.com/Electrical-Light-Bulbs-Compact-Tube-Fluorescents-Compact-Fluorescents/h_d1/N-5yc1vZbmatZ1z117n3/R-100676712/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 , if i use that or maybe 2, that would make my box too hot? i could add an oscillating fan like i said before, but what if the plants get bigger i got no where to put the oscillating fan since i would be putting it on the floor of the box. help +rep

http://www.homedepot.com/Electrical-Light-Bulbs-HID/h_d1/N-5yc1vZbw0z/R-100119868/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 would i be able to use this light for growing? been reading bout lights and they say that the wattage doesnt really matter its the lumens or heat that the light produces. so i looked it up, and homedepot has that light. if i can use it, can i use it for veg and flower? cause the light cycle makes the plant flower right? not that type of light. correct me if im wrong. and is it good if use 2 or 3? or would that be too hot for my grow box?

2 of those would be good for 2 plants. The MH is alot hotter and would not suggest it with a small grow box but you might be able to use it if you have enought fresh air circulating through you box.

what bout the other light. the philips brand one? would i be able to use that?

edit: i jsut found out that i need something else besides this light bulb, so basically i cant use it without that one thing my buddy told me, so im sticking with what indo grower said bout using the 2 big ass one, hopefully i can grow bout 9 plants instead just 2 plants.
