Lighting help!

[Kindbud]

Alright my box is 24 inches by 14 inches and i have 2 clf lights puting out about 3500 lumes and another cool white light puting out 850 lumes think that will be enough light or do you think i should put another light in the box?

 

[Brouli]

you know , to exaly with the book you would have little over 6000lumes in that box, but that will work also only little slower

add another one like the one that you use what is it ?? 26 watt 1750 lumess??

Hey there

Im using cfls too. How many plants are you going to grow? Im using 5 bulbs same size as yours and he is right they will grow slower. But I think the lights are working enough mine are growing. The plants will stay shorter though because thease bulbs dont put off much heat. Ther are 10 plants in my closet its plenty bright enough. My plants grow about a 1/2 inch per day.

i have 6 plants in it right now and yeah they grow a little slower but
hey its faster then outdoors well i just wanted to know if i would need
more light and when i switch it over to flowering how long should the
hours I keep the loghts on be like 8 light 16 dark?????

It should work maybe get one more in there. You will want to switch to 12/12 when you flower. I went 14/10 for the first week then to 12/12 but you can do whatever. Everybody has their own opinion.
