I Just purchased one of these things and it is pretty sweet. I have a 65w fluorex flood light that i was going to use up top, because it already has its own reflector. I was going to sidelight with some more regular cfl 65's.
The fluorex will not work in there because for whatever reason it cannot be mounted to close to a reflective surface. It says in the instructions not to mount closer than 4 feet to a reflective surface. When i mounted it to the bottom of the shelf and pointed it down towards the bottom of the box it starts to strobe like crazy.
Oh well, I will just have to get some regular cfl's to go up top. I have never grown with cfl's, so can someone tell me if this lighting plan is overkill or not..
veg - 2 65w 6500k cfl above and then 6 65w 6500k for side lighting
flower - 2 65 w up top (1 6500k and one 2700 ) and then 6 65w 2700k surrounding the plant.
that is 520w.. sounds like a lot to me, but there is only going to be one plant in there so I would like it to produce as much bud as possible.
