I've decided to grow Lowryder 2 which if you weren't aware is an autoflowering dwarf hybrid that enters flowering stage immediately, shows its sex in about 3 weeks & total time from seed to harvest is about 9 weeks. It grows to a height of about 18 inches & yields about an ounce per plant. I've built a small grow cabinet large enough for 2 full size midgets. I've decided to go with cfl's because I may try running them 24/0 (which this strain can use from start to finish) & because I need to keep my power consumption as low as possible to avoid overtaxing & tripping circuit breakers that are already fully employed. My box has 8 light sockets arranged in 2 rows of 4 & what I'm wondering is;
What cfl's to use? 2700k, 5000k or 6500k a mix or something else? Also how much wattage should I be aiming for? I was thinking of getting the 8 of the 24 watt (100 watt equivalent) for a total of just under 200 actual watts.
Thanks
