Smile Help me to decide !!!

Hi,
I want to build a growbox soon, my question is :
Would one 125 W CFL be enough for 24 inch x 40 inch and about 79 inch high growbox or would I need a 200 W CFL ?
I hope you can help me decide with one to buy !
Thanks,
Iwona

more light means better bud an plant production..as long as you have ventaltion or fans for heat bigger is better..although the decision is yours..peace

Are you planning to grow tall plants..or is the space just that tall?

How much bud do you want/need to get you from one harvest to the next?

How much money are you willing to spend?

I have a few ideas for ya...but it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish with this space.

bt dt

Hi,
I do not care how tall it is but I can not make it bigger box then 24" wide and 40" long because I have no room for it !!!!
So you think I should get a 200 W CFL?
How tall should I make the box?
Thanks for the answers!!!
Iwona

the plant size is completely up to you.
if you only want it 2 ft tall. flower when its 1ft tall.
the more light, the more buds.
get as many lights as you can in there without making it too hot.

the taller the box the better.within reason not 20' feet. make sure you can raise and lower the lights as your plants grow. the heat will find it's way out the top on it's own. if it is vented. do some research on what kind of effect you are looking for. sativas get real tall, indica's are shorter. many strains are a cross of the two. some make you laugh some make you a statue! they all make the music sound great! god bless whatever you decide.

i think you can have a very successful gegitative grow with the 1 200w cfl but you may want to do a little more for flowering them mabey ad a second bulb for extra light coverage ! but good luck let us know how you decide to set it up !
