Hi
I am going on day 28 of flowering. I am growing a topped northern lights which just started to show pistols and a FIMed blue widow which has been forming buds for 2 weeks now. I am using 4 23 watt cfls per plant overhead made possible by 3 splitters in each socket. I am also adding some side light to the blue widow with 2 more 23 watt cfls.
Do you feel this is sufficient light to achieve maximum yield? my growbox only accommodates 2 5 gallon buckets in cardboard boxes taped together, lined with mylar. I was thinking of adding another 2 cfls to provide my NL with some side light or possibly an overhead 150 watt hps. I have a 120mm CPU fan exhaust on the top of my box passing through a carbon filter with passive intake. Would an hps add too much heat and how high above the ladies would I have to suspend it? I dont want to burn the house down.
thanks
