1. so the tent
2. line of mylar inside
3. fox farm soil
4. six 4x4 pots
5. six 100 watts cfls hanging from a bathroom light fixture
6.cal- mag
7. fox farm nutrients
8. 4 computer fans with a intake and exhaust
9. home made carbon filter
can not wait to post pics on friday might be tomorrow night thanks for all the time im sure ill get flamed but happens to us newbs lol.

we are talking actual watts right, if its 100 watt incandecent equiv. upgrade to a bigger bulb.

ok to like what? i thought if my lumens were high enough i would have been ok but what watts were u thinking

If you do use the smaller 26 true watt clf's, use a bunch of them.. 50-100watts per square foot is good , "true watts" but as long as you keep the cfl's close you should still get a decent yield.. Just remember the more lumens the bigger the buds! For an 8 square foot tent you need quite a bit of light for flowering, veg you wont need as much.. How many lumens do you have between all you cfl's?
