I'd start with 84 with an expansion socket for 126 ... in my opinion that'll work well. CFLs are best right up against the plants' tops, so have a way to either lower the lights or raise the plants ... cn
Not sure. However if you rig your grow area with 3 sockets, you can run 3 lights. The sockets don't need to be occupied, so 2 lights are workable in that configuration as well. cn
ohh ok so put three bulb holders in there that work but i dont have to use every bulb holder and im thinking veg the plant til like ten twelve inches with one bulb then two bulbs for flowering so shell get extra light when she gets it idk if thatll work the way i see it but i dont see whyu nto
