Can I use CFL for a small cab?

PeaceTurtle · 10-18-2007, 10:12 AM

Hey all. I have a full spectrum 60 watt CFL, and it's doing great it my little cab. My little cab is about 2.5x2.5x5 feet tall, that's it I can fit two plants comfortably in it, with carefull management of leaves, branches etc.

My question is, if I had a "warm" cfl in with the full spectrum for the 12/12 would that be enough to have a decent return from my two plants? I find the tool shed grow is too big, and the light gets wicked hot. Smaller yields i don't mind, if I can keep growing.

comments?

I wish I knew more about CFL's!

i'd say a cfl per plant would be enough...maybe not the highest yield, ut it should grow.

im no expert og course, just my guess.

One CFL is enough for germinating, and growing. You'll definately want more lights to flower. If you are saying 60 watts of light, you'll need more light for sure. Walmart has 3 26/100 watt CFL's for 7 and 4 23/100 watt CFL's for 8.

If you get the 4 pack I suggest opening up the box like you would a carton of eggs and make sure the bulbs aren't broke. I have to return a 4 pack I bought yesterday. The 3 pack comes in clear plastic.
