I am planing on building a grow box that is 24" wide X 19" tall X 14" deep. i need to know how many cfl lights i need to grow about 3-4 plants. i know that i need a 6500k for veg. and a 2700k for flowering. im going to grow a short autoflowering strain. so...
best watts
how many lumn.
how many bulbs
best set up for lights
I aalso am on a tight budget so i cant go all out on lighting. i have checked out places and the cheapest bulbs are like $5. and would a full spectrum cfl be good for the grow, $7 at home depot. well if i could get some help that would be great cuz i want to get high soon:eyesmoke:.

just use the 2700 k bulbs and start with 1 bulb per plant
the 100w= or higher
then as the plaants get bigger add more lights
then when you start to flower double up the lights so if you have 3 per plant in veg get 6 in flower

19" of vertical space is not much once you subtract light setup and growing medium...And as for smoking soon, you're looking at 3 months away if you are still getting the seeds and set up together
