i know its not a big area, its being moved once the new space is cleared. the 10X8 space is covered in reflectance (foil), i will have 2 plants there. should i use 1 or 2 cfls for this space? the specs on the bulbs are 1450 lumens, 100 watts each using only 23 watts in the 6500k spectrum. i know people say the more light the better and cfls usually dont burn the plants, but i just want to be sure.

If you can, use one bulb per plant. Heat may be an issue if the space is enclosed. Happy growing!

Is that a shoe box?

Id just stick the plants outside or somethin till the other areas cleared. Or just put em in ur window. They'll get more light then from those cfls
