Hey guys, i finally ''built'' my closet grow, and i wanna know if i can get a good yield with this setup, some tips, and tricks, from experienced people.

First of all, i have to say that i bought 4 clones and they were growing in front on a window until i bought the CFLs.
The 2 babies in the green pot are clones that i cloned today...

Specs:

- Total of 6 CFL bulbs
- 4 x 26 watts 6500k daylight bulbs @ 1600 lumens
- 2 x 26 watts 2700k soft white bulbs @ 1700 lumens

Nutrients:
General Hydroponics FloraNova Grow (Bought today, going to use next week)
General Hydroponics FloraNova Bloom (Going to use in flowering...)


Heres some pics:

not at all man. sorry, but i just finished out a CFL grow of 169 watts on ONE plant, and i still could have used much more.

In fact, i used more than you on my single plant:

- 2 x 26 watts 6500k daylight bulbs
- 4 x 26 watts 2700k soft white bulbs
- 1 x 13 watt 2700K soft white

Also, if you plan on getting any good results outta a CFL grow, you MUST have the lights right up on the the leaves. Literally 2 inches away or less.

If your planning on growing multiple plants, id recommend you invest in a quality light fixture. I have grow single plants 2 times, and dont see small CFLs being useful on more than just one plant. If you just have one going, you must light it up from all angles, especially the sides, to get good results.

Yes, you may want to add some lights for that number of plants. Nevertheless, they will grow, a good yield is relative.
