Hey all, I'm a relative noob here, but I do have a little bit of experience (guerrilla) growing. Anyway, I've been browsing threads here for a while now and I'm getting more and more excited about planning my own small indoor grow. So anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my lighting situation.
Here's what I'm working with:
I've got a cabinet which I'm coating with mylar. The floor space is 30" x 10.25" (2.1 sq. ft). It's 37" tall (regardless of the height, of course I'll position my plants such that they're just below the lights).
My lighting fixture accepts six bulbs and I'm going to try a SCROG grow.
I have 3 2700 Kelvin (warm red?) CFL's (100 W equiv.) and 3 6500 K (cool white?) CFL's (100 W equiv.).
Now the question: What would you do for lighting?
I was thinking of doing 3 cool white for veg (no need to overkill in such a small space - just a waste of electricity at some point, yes?) and 3 cool white + 3 warm red for flower.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to hearing what people think (and no cheating, like saying "I would go out and get an HID light"! )
Thanks, and keep enjoying life in any responsible way you want!
