So heres the deal, im working on a grow in an area that is 14x30x44 in. Im going to wrap the whole inside of the cab with mylar and have 1 intake and 1 exhaust (pretty big ones too considering the size of the cab). Ideally i would like to grow 2-3 plants in this area without to much hassle.
As for lighting this is where i get scared. Im going with two 125w CFLs (6400k for veg, and 2700k for flower) to hang above the plants and four 26w CFLs (2 6500k's, and 2 2700ks) to put on the side/underside in which i will set up on Y-adapters on opposite sides of the cab. I plan on rotating the plants a quarter turn daily to make sure the smaller CFLs reach all sides.
My question, am i overkilling on the lighting? How much is to much when i comes to CFLs. I obviously dont want to scorch them but i also want these things to nock my socks off. With the fans im using this thing should stay better ventilated than the space in between Bush's head.
So whats the word?
