So in my grow box design, I've got the potential to use as many as 30x 26w CFLs. The space is roughly 2.5ft x 3.5ft x 4ft high. It's a small space, given that the lights and the handbuilt ballast will eat up ~6in, and the pots will take another ~8in.
I was just wondering, if I did indeed put the whole 30 lights in there, giving me 780w, would that be overkill?
Do you have any ideas as far as where the cutoff would be regarding benefit vs cost?
Any thoughts on how strong a ventilation fan I'll need for that? How strong a carbon filter?
Thanks!
