For that size cabinet get yourself a 100W actual wattage CFL and that's enough. If it'll fit the aerogarden hood, that is.

I'd put in between 13-17 lights of each for each, but you will have to build your light boards. But, how many plants, too? I'd use that many of those CFL's just because of your noted area size

Are those actual wattage, or equivalent?HD has 42W=150W, but with what you have you'll be fine though I'd hang each separate so they can be hung exactly where they're needed. Get sockets and wire them on tails, so then you can wire several together per plug.Oh, if you can use Mylar on walls, and white inside hood...Oh S....that reminds me..I've got painting to do on my new hoods.. Check my pics for hood designs if you'd like.
