Hey guys, I have 4 clones(1 PPP, 3 C99) in a grow cabinet(30''x19''x70'') right now. They are growing under 3200 LED lumens of 5000K and 6400 LED lumens of 2700K.
I know that since I have almost 4 sq. feet I need much more light for my grow. My question is what would be a good light source I could give them that won't cost me a fortune in electricity and isn't too expensive.
So far I have though about these
CFL

I would use the 6400K for veg and the 2700K for flower, or could I buy only one and use it all the time and save money? Also how much CFL Watt do I need for my 4square feet grow cabinet?
Next I heard a lot about LED COB and how great they are but I don't understand how they work, they are chips?
What do you install them on if you have to? how much do you need?
I don't want HID or HPS because of the heat.
Thanks guys
