How cfl grows should be done...

Lights fill all the space you have


How close they need to be...requires daily r aising and if kept at the height shown, every coule hrs

Great for veg/moms/clome with a little less light

Yes you should have air movement regardless. A 250watt hps hid is easier to cool than 500watts of cfl's. Hell my 350watt cfl grows got hotter then my 400w HPS grows because i didnt have a method to extract hot air from 15 individual bulbs placed so close to the foliage.

Cfls are a great way to get started, the if you need to you can upgrade to bigger lights when you've got a couple of grows under your belt you will be wiser for the experience.

you can do cfl, for sure, yes 100%... not the best method, but its where most of us start out...i know i had some gnarly grow boxes, FILLED with cfls that work...ya, now, safe is entirely another topic, lol. just make sure to keep it dark in that room in dark cycle...nice fan breeze...
I Also will add, if its hot to yr hand...its hot to the plant...
good luck,
learn and have fun with it.
