If I was growing 6 plants and I wanted to use CFL's for my flowering stage (I need to use CFL's because I'm growing stealth and can't use HIDs due to the heat and lack of ventilation so please don't recommend me to use HPS, I know this already). I just wanted to ask if it would be good, in regards to yield, if I should use 2 CFL 200 WATT 2100K (Red) Envirolites for 4 to 6 plants in a stealth grow area of about 3'x2'x5'. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Yeh, i agree, the problem isn't that the lights don't give out a high enough number of lumens, its just that if you were sharing 2 between 6 plants some of the plants would be too far away or shaded by the other plants. Having 3 would mean only sharing each light between 2 plants, so you could hang it vertically between them and get good light distribution and all of the plentiful advantages. Hope this helps.

Good luck with your budding.
