holyyy shit, did not see the picture. You probably do not want to do 3 75-watt CFLs, as your plant is way too stretched and big. You probably want to do more like 6 42-watt CFLs, as you can get more lighting over the canopy that way. i'm sure 3 75-watters will work, but it will be more even light distribution if you get it all around the plant. up to you though.

thanks! ill def. go wit the 6 42's cuz i think the light distribution all round the polant has alot of branchs, the plants been in the window since seed, an its shootin out hairs an i need to get a better light source...its stretched cuz the window grow lol, but thanks! around how much room u think would be neccesary for this plant im goin to build me a grow cabinet...
yeah i would go with more smaller ones, instead of a few big ones. That way you can cover more of the plant and spread out the lumens and what not. And for size i would see atleast a 1.5x-3x the size from when you start flowering to finish. it just depends on the strain and how much lighting and the environment so its hard to tell exact
yeah, that's gonna be rough. your plant is going to get huge and stretch a lot. i would consider tying down a few branches so that you have a lower canopy. or do some supercropping. either way, you're going to probably figutre out a way to lower your branches a bit, as they probbaly will more than double in height during flowering.
