ok so im starting a new box it's 5 feet tall 3 foot wide and 2 foot deep. i want to use cfl's but im not sure what wattage bulbs i should get. ima fist time grower so i don't want to get caught up in the mh or hps yet until i figure things out first. my box is going to be light tight and have 2 115 vac fans.(70cfm each) one for intake and one for exhaust. I'm also going to be growing 4 indica strains witch are under two 2ft floresants for about 2 weeks now. I'f you could help me with my situation i would apprieciate it. i just dont wanna start buying bulbs that arent efficiant enough.

Any CFL will work, for veg you want to go with 6500k which are the blue looking bulbs. You can get the 13 watters 27 watts 43 watss anything you want, If you go with the smaller ones just add more of them to make up for the lost lumens. Keep them all really close like 3-4 inches from the plant. When it's time to flower just change out the 6500k for some 2700k or soft white bulbs and your back in action. Hope this helped alittle
