98 total watts, will be ok veggin, and using topping and lst you should be able to make your space work. when it comes to flowering you are gonna want to add some supplemental lighting if possible, but it can be done, good luck man. I've got a cab going now theres a journal of it, if you want to check it

They say that more the merrier when it comes to cfls and flowering. And if your able to give it the proper environment and care for it I'm sure it will be quite decent. And Nizza has a point but I've lurked and seen some good cardboard box grows. Concord Dawn is a dude that knows what hes doing when it comes to cardboard box grows.

Damn, close call for you... So far I touch the bases and everything, and its not toooo hot. I think its worked out for a lot of people, it should workout. What does anyone else think about this?

Great......about the CFL's catching fire. My nursery is full of them hanging upside down of course. Its on 18 hours a day and who the hell can be "watching" them all the time to prevent fire?
Worse yet, if it ever should happen and the cause of the fire is investigated and the source found.......thats not good at any level.

TBH those CFL looked like cheap shit compared to the ones here, I would not have trusted those CFL he had.

Damn dude, I use 6 42's for veg. in a cab always on when I leave. I got a smoke alarm right above it but that don't do shit other then make fuckin noise. Looks like imma try switching to those Cree bulbs for veg. I got em in my ceiling light and they are bright as fuck. That's scary shit. My cabs metal but still there is a tonne of shit in there that will burn.

the bulbs emit light better to the plant if they are horizontal. i would also raise the plant pretty close to the cfls so it will minimize stretch.

Is this due to heat or a factory imperfection?
