argentino i was looking for more then that thank you for the compliments but what grow style are you doing? just straight grow or LST? i need a good route to get the best out of it.

o ok. i lst. shes was started out doors then moved in. heres a pic. dont know if all this helps. i think lst is the wa to go with cfls although. more light penetration and more side node growth. I toped her once as well.

she looks very good im wondering with my 250 cfl how close should my plants be? the bulb gives off 14200 lumens and being a 250w gets pretty damn warm

I am looking to set up a 2x3x4 foot closet using a home depot 4 light bathroom fixture. Not sure what wattage or cfl to use.Worried about the fixture getting too hot. Any concern I should have, not at home much.
