Ok, I just went out and got 5 26 watt Cfl's and I already have 170 watts total in hps. I was wondering if this would be ok for a SoG op? How big of an op? I.E. number of plants? is one mother ok? should I get more Cfl's?

5 26 watt CFL's = 8500 lumens
100 watt HPS = 9500 lumens
70 watt HPS = 6300 lumens
TOTAL =24,300 lumens

oh my little space is about 2' x 2'
any suggestions would be freakin killer

would they be healthy using just soil and nutes and the light i have, would it be smart to maybe up the cfls to 10 altogether?

lol a tall ass box will work i guess.:mrgreen: Id get as many lights as i could. Or just buy a light kit from htgsupply.com you can get a 400 watt hps light for 56$ plus shipping. The kit includes everything besides the reflector but hell the hps light alone without the reflector would do more than the lights you have now.:joint::peace::peace:

when you're growing with small wattage the way to go is sog or scrog. your lights won't grow giants, so grow bonsai's.
