Well, I cannot fit a hps light into my confined flowering closet (1.5'Lx2'Wx4'H) and I was wondering what would be the best cfl light (dimensions, shape, wattage) to use in this space. I only want to grow 2 at a time and I already have 2 15"Lx13"Wx20"H vegetative boxes with 1 plant in each (Big Bud and Thai Stick) each lit by a 150W spiral cfl. I am 2 weeks into the grow and plan to start a journal. I am planning to flower at 12-15" due to limited space in the flowering closet (this is built into my existing closet and I am trying to stay extremely stealth). So with this in mind I would appreciate some suggestions for a light to produce the max yield in this small space. Also remember that these are both meant to be short plants with great yields.


Oh yeah, I have noticed that a few people seem to be having trouble finding thai stick seeds. Search no more, you can get 5 free seeds of this strain with any purchase from Marijuana Seeds (cannabis Seeds) High Quality Low Prices . Mine came with my feminized big bud, however the thai are not feminized.

keep the plant as close as the lights as u can get around 2 cms away hope they cool fluorescents then u can do this.

any flourescent light works ok... even those twisty energy saving light bulbs work ok to, they will do enough to make the plant grow fine. but if you want to have killer bud and have it grow a bit faster go and buy a cheap 10$ light from a garden store.

Growing with CFLs you want pretty much the max amount of light you can get for example.Two plants i'd say at least 4-5 42 Watt CFLs. you need "cool white" for veging.You also need "warm white" for flowering.Like 4-5 of each cool and white.
the size of the light is up to you.
you might want to mount some lights on the side to provide light for the side of the plant, cause light fades fairly quick.
