I would run 1 600 anyday over those cfl's.

you can't run a 600w in a 4.5ft high room, once you have the pots and the hood hanging you will have no space left for the plants
looks like a good setup fellow but instead of cfl on the walls I would screw twin 2ft t5's on the 3 walls horizontal, 2ft high, this will keep the electria down but give you a really good spread of light

Yeeah that tossed my mind and I will probably go with that idea!you can't run a 600w in a 4.5ft high room, once you have the pots and the hood hanging you will have no space left for the plants

What about a 400watt? I put a tiny space heater I there was with temperature control and keeps the old between 79-75 day and night. My passiv intake brings in 40 degree cold air from outside, still need to add a fan speed controller

Also! What if I put a hood in there but to where the glass is flat with the top of my box, then I have 4.5 ft of grow space

Yeah you could do that, it helps with temps since you dont have a hot hood in the room, just a glass, but its fucking loud because the ventilation for the lights is on the outside the grow.

Yeah but my box is outside in 40 degree weather in the back carport. Not worried about noise.
Guess I'll grow these out and put the hood in for the next batch

Thats a great ideal, use air cooled hood with a fan attached to one side, above the room and a square hole cut of of the top of the box, so the hood just fits and spot weld it in place
somthing like this
with this setup you could use a 600w hps and have the canopy 12" below the hood as the fan would remove most the heat from the hood
you would still need a fiter and fan but its going to be a good setup

Need to find a good seed bank. Heard of lumberjack seed source? I'm all about OG strains! Their breeders are ocean grown? Something like that

On short bushy plants, cfl works great in veg
tbh I have never flower a plant under cfl but every thread that i have read about hps vs t5 in flower, has said you get denser buds and a higher yeild with hps
so that's what i have always done.
