hi, sry but no.. im at this moment sending resized photos to other site.. gimme a few minutes

I can answer your second question right now, more light is always better! Lol. im not familiar enough with led to answer your other questions but plenty of people combine led and cfl and it works well just remember to keep the cfls 2-3 inches from your plants as they lack penetration thus why close is best lol. Take care.

The LED probably covers all the light spectroms you will need. A couple cfls bulbs won't make a difference. If you want to mix a t5 with it that might be worth it. You can pick one up for a couple honeys

 

[lexort420]

A t5 is practically a cfl only difference being that they are shaped differently and a cfl is selfballasted. Im not suggesting a cfl cause of spectrum but because it is more light and added watts.

 

[KbCobra]

I meant for more coverage. He said 2 or 3 bulbs so I figured another half of that combine wattage you might as well have a T5. I wouldn't think (3) 25w bulbs would make any difference.


Also bob, place your LED closer, your plants will stretch, which it looks like they are. You can always bring it up as your plants grow

True i would go with atleast 4 25w cfls to make a difference i just wasn't sure he would have room in that box for a t5 but i could be wrong not sure on the measurements

 

[BobTheGrower]

ok so i will not add any cfls bulbs
i will set led lower too

thank you guys

This should give you a better idea of proximity for your LED
