Re: What are Compact Fluorescents and How Can I use them for Growing?

You want 40 to 50 watts per square foot of grow space. Square foot is length x width. You have 80 watts with 2 bulbs. My room is 4 x 5 which is 20 sf. Multiply that times 40 or 50 and you get 800 to 1000. That means I need to use 800 to 1000 watts of light to maximize my grow space. What is the size of your grow space?
