Ok here my grow room it 3x4x7 and painted all the walls White and I have 4) 42 watts each with 2,600 light output limens Soft White
4) 4foot 2 bulbs Lite fixtures, With 40 watts for each bulbs 4 of them are Soft White and the Other 4 are light light blue lighting and the Lumins of those 3,300 for each bulbs.. and these are hanging down ward in the cornners.

I figure that 488 watts is enough to get these Girls enough Lights, yes there is 2) 8 inch fan at the bottom of the room and 1) 10 at the top and a ducting from my swap cooler to the room (Hehe) stay about 76 to 80 degree in the afternoon..

Here some pix of a new Born Beginner and let me know what you think!

I also have these 75 watts lights that are called (Plant light) and they look like they been painted blue and they look like flood lites but for inside plants and made from Philps and don't say anything about lumins.

Are these lights any good?
 
I was going to get the so called "plant lights" until an employee at a head shop said it was a crock o sh*t, so I didn't buy them, could work but he said he was growing for years, like others on this site he suggested the CFL's
 
Yeah those plant and aquarium bulbs work okay.... but they cost double a normal flouro... and put out half the lumens.

Hey, hold on... U dont want them tho!! IMHO they work well...

But they are not cost effective when there are cheaper bulbs that put out double the lumens.

Nope I am not going to buy anymore lites! If I do buy more lites I am going to ebay to get the 250 hd lighting for 95 Bucks for Veggie and buy the other one for flowering an that makes more since to me for lighting.

For now I am going to use what I have and see how they come out and I know I want to make another box for Veggie so then I can have the bigger one for Flowering so in the future I am going to change my set up!!

Have A green Bud Day.
