hey im about to start growing and i was screwing in one of my bulbs (i have 3) but 1 broke so now i have 2 they are 27w 2700k cfls i have a VERY small cabnit thats 16" in hight, 15" in depth and 9" in width the cfls give off 1750 lumens at least it says on the box and i have two making me have 1750+1750= 3500 lumens in total BUT i found a fish tank double light fixture i may install but i only have 13w 2700k cfls from around my house they are sappose to give off 800 lumens im pretty sure so i will have 1750+1750+800+800=5000 lumens is that good enough? the grow space as i said has only 9" of width but im going to try and get the 2 13w ones in the double light fixture on one side and the 2 26w cfls in single light fixtures next to each other the double light fixture is too big to make it go along the width from side to side so i have to make it go back to front i will design a CHEAP, BAD quility picture of my idea on paint right now it may take a while becuz i am eating please leave any comments or if u think this should/will work
P.S i am getting the lights so i DONT have to add more as i go on BUT i might only leave the 2 27w cfls on intil the seeds sprout or should i have them all on? its a 12/12 from seed also becuz of the hight and i WILL be doing a major lst job thanks for reading please post and help me
