Hey guys,
im just about to start 3 fem chrystal seeds from nirvana and i just wanted to ask bout lighting.
So far i have one of those led pannels that are low wattage,and two 75 watt cfl lights.
What i wanted to no was, will i have enough light for a good crop with decent yeilds or should i put some more lights in there.

btw its a 60x60x120 homebox dark room.
thanks in advance.:yummy:
 
The short answer is no. You might get by with what you have for veg growth, but you'll need more lumen's for blooming.

You also didn't mention what temp bulbs you are using. You can get by with full spectrum bulbs, but you'll get better results using 6500k bulbs for veg, and 2700k bulbs for blooming. I was planning on making a CFL fixture to hold 10 26 watt CFL's but never got around to it. I bought a T-5 fixture instead.

As far as the LED light goes, from what I've read, unless you have at least 250-300 actual watts, you probably won't be happy with them. There are some great grow journals detailing different LED lights.
