I use1 200w blue spec cfl in atiny space and its great for seedling/clones. will need some air extraction like a couple of pc fans. thats wat i needed in a small grow box my first grow! but in a small space like under the stairs its great!

this is the type i use with a 150w cfl Brite Wing High Wattage CFL Reflector - Plantlighting Hydroponics . or you can go to walmart,kmart or target or ant place like that to buy some bulbs that you would put in your lamps. the higher the wattage the better. get them in the 6500k range. the 2700k are for flowering. for answer to other questions read through the grow faq at the top of the page. it will answer most of your questions
