Is 150 enough?

I am in Veg under CFL. Had planned to do a complete CFL grow until I saw this: High Tech Garden Supply $70 My cab is 3 sq ft, 4' tall and well ventilated (2 50 cfm bath fans, 1 sucking in in the bottom and 1 sucking out on the top). This should be, along with some side cfl's, enough to support 2 plants. Do you agree?? Thanks

I think a 150HPS in there would be fine and if temps can't be kept under control with those bath fans, then just buy a cool tube and mount the 150HPS globe in there and vent the hot air from the cool tube, out the back of the cabinet with a high CFM 120mm PC fan (some will push 130+CFM and can be easily made to run off a 12V wall adaptor) and some ducting .

150w should be a nice amount for 2 plants (possibly could stretch 3, but 2 would be fine) and 1 or 2 CFLs for side lighting would certainly help.

sounds like you're on the money with your setup plans.

idealy you should have more then one.. the more light the more bud and the faster you will see your girl grow...

More than one isn't feasible as to the size of the cab. Also thinking 150 and not 250 for that same reason. Thanks
