I'm on my third set of plants growing with CFL bulbs. i made a grow box 32" wide by 20" deep and 48" tall out of poly sheild insulation (it's Styrofoam board) it comes in 4'x8' sheets and has shiny aluminum foil on one side. i use 2 300 watt CFL bulbs about 3-4 inches above the plants, until the plants reach 24" in height then add 4 150 watt bulbs around the middle of the box. i can grow 2 plants about 36 inches tall in 8 weeks on a 18-6 light cycle my first 2 turned out to be male...bummer. my next 2 one male one female that turned hremi 3 weeks into the flowering cycle. final bud production was about an ounce(by volume not weight) i probably could have gotten a little more if i had been patient...but the need to feed the head was my downfall...lol ... all my supplies for making the grow box and the CFL's were bought at the home depo for about $90.00 including 5 gal buckets and soil. the cost of electricity over 4an1/2 months was roughly $18.00 per month. my current crop is 5 weeks old today they are aprox 14" tall and very healthy, if the hemp gods are looking favorably over me these 2 plants should both be female. i'm glad i stumbled upon this website remember what the door mouse said "feed your head"
