how many CFL in a pc growbox?

[schtrudel]

ok, so today my world has been rocked
I''ve read more on the subject of lumen/sq ft and i've come up with a dilema.
My pc growing area is aproximatively 0.9 sq feet.
>i only have 3 cfl now 1x20w 1x26w and 1x 12(or something like that ).
>1x20w=1200lm + 1x26w=1600lm +1x12w=500lm =3200lm

That is barely enough for vegetative grown, what if i get another 2800lm from another 26 and another 20.Will that be enough for flowering?

please excuse my noob question and if it''s already been asked forgive me


edit: i move my plant into sunlight in the noon from 1pm till 6pm. will that compensate untill i can repair my problem ?

all the things i''m reading on the internet make me confused. now i''ve read somewhere that 3000lm is more than adequate.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

2500 per sq ft is considered the bare minimum. I wouldn't say 3,000 is more than adequate, but you are growing pot in a shoebox so you have to be careful of the heat. What's your temps in there, out of curiosity?

PC grow boxes imo are a hassle to make work effectively. Can you upload some pix? You can for sure grow a tiny plant in their but when I say tiny I am talking a couple gram harvest. (if you expect the pc to be closed & looking stealthy ^_^ ) I am guessing that is your reason for using it.

my temp is around 28 celsius or 80 fahrenheit( i thinks that''s the correct conversion ) .
i keep it like this with 2 computer fans, no carbon scrubber but with a ( i dont have it YET ) ionizer

here,my good sir . i think i messed up the image uploading XD. im sure i can add 2 more cfl and not heat that thing up too bad, if so i''ll get a new fan and make it an input fan( have only 2 outputs)

ok, so i scrapped the pc growbox and made a cartboard 1x1x2 ft . gonna grow it naturally( no sog or scrog cause im not sure i will do it right and currently it's my only plant and i dont want to mess it up )
i have 1x26w white cfl and 2x20w yellow cfl and a 10w yellow .
I had another 20w but it burned out ffs, almost caught on fire the metal socket melted and the wires i soldered fused to the metal ..... dont be stupid like i am and buy ceramic light sockets
