ok i have to build a box for my clones so i can prevent them from flowering, and the only thing i have instant access to build a basic veg box is an old 1'wx4'lx17"h old fish tank i figure if i wrap the glass with mylar on the outside it should reflect well enough and i know that the box would need 20k lumens for he 4sq' but would it hurt too much if that number was lowered to say about 13k cause i can get 2 fluro shop light ballasts easy and inexpencively enough and ive found that the g.e. daylight bulbs put off about 3050 lums/bulb and the bath and kitchen ones put off 3400lumns i was going to go for the more lumns this go around for the better output but will my plants still grow even though thay wont be getting the 20k lumns that they require
