Just set up my rubbermaid box. Light question.

Alright as the title states I just went to home depot and set up two (30 somethin? gal) rubbermaids. I bought two 3 light fixtures that are mounted to the top sides of the top rubbermaid. Basically i'm wondering if 6 42w 2700k will work for a whole grow. I'll be starting plants on 12/12 and from their description they should be done 40-50 days from seed if run on 12/2 the whole time, getting about 1-1.5 feet tall. Thanks in advanced

it's enough light. how many plants? 40-50 days seems a bit short. strain? did you get the 42 watt cfls from home depot?

Well, right now i have 3 g13's from the last grow that shit the bed, in there now but i should be getting my beans tomorrow and then maybe 3 will hit the paper-towel. I thought that was pretty damn fast too, thats why i got it. I was looking for a strain that is the fastest finisher from seed to harvest.

I havent bought the 42w's yet but that is where i'll be getting them from yes

very cool. im interested to see how accurate the description is. i might have to pick some up. heat will be an issue. hope you have airflow under control.
