Lighting Questins - CFL's

Ok I got a handful of questions here. For a 3' x 5' closet space, do I need a reflector, or can I just use mylar on the walls? Meaning, can I just use a socket instead of the reflector/fixture? Also I am trying to decide between how many lights. So, with a small budget it is a factor of whether I need the reflector with the light. With 2 lights, I imagine it might be cheaper to get 2 sets (two 2700k and two 6500k) of lower wattage bulbs rather than 2 (one 2700k and one 6500k) higher wattage bulbs. But, I am concerned about the quality of my yield possibly being better the other way around, just going for the one light at a time method.

How much smoke are you needing?

What are your ventilation options?

Multiple 23-26w CFL's are much more efficient than a couple larger watt CFL's unless they're 50-55w PL-L lamps. (remote ballast CFL's)

No matter what the spectrum... you'll get decent buds from CFL's. You can go with 2700K lamps for both veg and flower no problem as the CFL's put out a much more balanced spectrum of useable light.

I highly suggest reading all the stickies in all the forums here.... doing research on CFL's and cannabis on the web and gaining as much info as possible about the subject before you start.

Stay Safe!

Yes you can use mylar, look on ebay for emergency blanket... They are about 1.75 delivered for a blanket sized piece. Takes a week - 10 days to get it...

Right on, thanks for the tips.Will get on reading those stickies after this post.

I don't necessarily need a certain amount, but would like as much yield as possible I suppose!

I haven't really looked into ventilation options, was guessing that opening the closet up a few times a day would be enough. But if I do need it, what am I looking at for cheapest options?
