where you taking temp reading from down on the plants or up higher is the cabinet sealed? just asking cause your blowing the heat from all those cfl's down on them if yer not intaking and exhausting i bet its much hotter in spots in there

well you should be good then its just a weed water it and feed it "but not to much" and it'll grow and produce something what color are those lights blues or reds? if there blues and your gonna switch to reds at flower id say get the 42w ones for the extra intensity cause those little ones are only gonna support a foot of growth at best when they bush up

6500k the blue box 2700k the yellow box <----"in most brands " 6500k for veg though ive done with 2700k cfl's ans 2700k hps but yer definitely gonna want the 2700k's for flowering atleast 3000 lumens per sq ft to veg the more for flower the better 5000 or better is ideal

just my opinion and sometimes that ain't worth much but here goes ive used cfls and actually prefer them for vegging but in my experience any thing under the 26w actual wattage are to small for anything other than seedlings
