I'm starting 3-4 sprouted seedlings in a carboard 3x2x4 and just wondering how much light do I need to start them off? Should I use two low watt cfl's then switch to higher or wat... Any advice would help

Depending on your space to grow and how hot the temps will get, I think usuing a cpl higher watt CFL bulbs that are 6500k are easier than using a lot of low watt cfls. What soil are you using? I would also line the box with mylar or some foil but make sure the foil is wrapped tightly and not all wrinkly and shit.

If you are in one sq ft you need a bare min of 150w actual, if you are in 2 sq ft double that, and so on.
