Not much space...

Hey there.
I have a closet grow right now, it's a little ghetto but working well. 150 watt reptile bulb, 15W UVB flor., and a small fan - temp good, humidity good. Currently pushing buds and I am happy even though this is not optimal, I know - can't do exhaust and get crazy with CFF, T5s, or MH.

I was thinking a 250W would work, not sure what brand or if a rep bulb will work.
Currently I have 4 plants from 6 old seeds planted initially. No idea what strain.
Well 2 of the "plants" are seeds that I am "moistening" currently - which is why I am asking now. I am on a 12/12 for flowering the two currently.
One is almost twice the height as the other. I figured that I would try the 24/0 for veg since the current are flowering now.

So, given the previous, what should I change?

Not a big closet, so too much heat is a problem, although I could get a bigger fan.

Thanks in advance!

Make a small section where you can put clones/seedlings and grow them up to about a foot tall. CFL's will work. light proof it. doesn't have to be big. Keep that side on 24/7 and the larger area at 12/12 to flower. Cant have any light leaks.

Good luck.

Sorry I meant HPS, not CFL in my OP.
Hmmm, CFL sounds good and not much heat at all.
What wattage on the CFL, can they be regular ones, or reptile grade?
Also, with a CFL, how many watts per plant (just on the CFLs) or does it not matter.

Hey and welcome to RIU, your "reptile" light is not a grow light, the 15w floro wont be much good either.
You need atleast 4 26w CFLs, those get a bit warm BUT I have a small closet I grow in and have 4 on 2 plants.
You wont yield much at all with the light setup you have.
