a few Big CFL's or Lots of Small CFL's??

i have a super small (100x50x50cm) grow room, plannin on LST or Scrog, should i get lots of smaller watt CFL's or go with less higher watt CFL's. If you think smaller CFL's could you help me source them in the UK, well Ireland actually, Belfast 2 b precise, but for some strange reason people like to call it Northern Ireland and say England has some sort of claim over it. sorry 2 get all political on use!!

many thanks for any help

hey man whats up the highest youll get over ere is 20 watts or 25 watts in argos or atlantic homecare! but you could just get a 125 watt off ebay for 20 quid in either spec!

I bought some 150watt=28 watt usage 2600 lumina output and the plants seem to like them but i am only growing about 3 in my little space i guess it depends on how many u are growing and size i really do not know as of for more than 3 plants i have one for each..

IIRC, 23 watters have the best lumen per watt ratio. They get kind of hot though. I use them on the sides of my closet and they work great. On the other hand, a smaller watt bulb might not have as good lumen to watt ratio but you'll have less heat per bulb. Of course depending on the amount of small watt CFL's you might end up with the same overall ambient temp in your grow area when it's all said and done.
