how many cfls for veg?

[Team GREEN]

I've got A BUNCH of 23w, 6000k cfls. I want to start a seperate veg room.
The space is about 1.5ft x 3ft x 6ft and there is no ventilation at the moment except for opening the door.
Any suggestions regarding the best way to set this up would be appreciated.

For 4.5 square ft i'd use 10 of those cfls.

how close can/should the cfls be to the plants/pots after germination and once planted? Also, if you could remind me of the ideal temp/humidity?
thanks

I keep mine a few inches away.

could remind me of the ideal temp/humidity?

75 degrees f and around 60 humidtiy for veg, 40 for flower.

maybe you can try and get 42w cfls or 105w cfls so you can have more room in the space
PS y adaptor work great keeping 2 bulbs in one socket!
