I plan on using cfls for vegging 2-4 clones or seedlings. My question is in a grow box (rubbermaid container) thats 2' x 1.5' x 2' tall, whats a good cfl setup?
does it matter during veg or is it just during flowering? I read the post where lighting was compared with hps vs cfl vs flourscent during veg and the plants seemed fine. i plan on using a hps light for flowering.
You can find some nice CFL's at HomeDepot that require a special balast.. they output quite a bit of light.. I think one bulb was almost equiv to my 12 I have.. haha but its liek a 100 or 1000 or maybe 500w CFL.. tho that could be equiv.. not entirly sure anymore.
dont waste your money of exsensive cfls.Get to 4 foot shop lights about 8-10 mbucks each this is great light for up to 80 seedlings or clones and works the best.Ditch the rubbermaid (unless your doing aero or bubble) and get a humidity dome for 8 bucks at home depot or lowes
Yeah thats the best way to go. Do research and see what the best lighting you can get for your money is.. I wish I had done that but my light setup seems to be working just fine and only uses 312w of power..
