i have 10 26w cfls in a 18x28x26in cabinet(l*w*h)

(i moved some lights around and took one out)

I was hoping to flower 3-4 plants in here. Would this be ok?

I also have a 100w hps that i could throw in there too.

If i put in the hps, how many of each clf should i use? (6500K, 2500K)

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

That looks kinds small for flowering more than 2 plants in... The lights would be kinda close, course CFLs can get close without problems...

If you go CFL only and 4 plants, your looking at minimum 4 to 6 2700k and 1 to 3 6500k to balance spectrum (this is for flowering btw). I would recommend about 8 2700ks and 4 6500ks, depending on size of the lights. If you have say 50 watters, you could get away with 4 or 5 2700ks.

Yeah, it is kinda low for flowering. Your plants are going to stretch when they flower, so you are going to need to be able to adjust the height of the lights.

u dont have to adjust the lights just do a scrog grow that way they they dont stretch into the lights remember u can bend those plants any feasible way that u like. what i would do is seperate those pots a little and bend that plant below its own container and u get another what 6-8x2 inches because it goes down and then back up. thats what my mind says.
