how much cfl lighting? as much as you can fit without raising the temperature too much. i think garden knowm recommended at least 3 cfl's per plant. i assume you know about the different veg and flower spectrums, right?

hey, i just saw you're from chicago. cool. i'm from 3 hours south of you

go for it. mix away the more light the better. the idea with cfl's is to get every part of the plant 1-2 inches away from a bulb. or at least as best that you can with that idea. i have a pic in test grow, my plant is loving it. check it out.
