Hello guys im new here and by new i mean i jusre registered but iv been reading on this forum for quite a while now... i finally decided to try to grow 1 for the first time... i just went through CFL Light Tutorial I have read it all but 1 thing i dont understand... my area is 24" X 48" if i go by the rule of 10 000 lumer per square feet that mean i would need like 28 42w CFL :| how does that make sence... even 65 W cfl i would need 20 of them :s those number seem unlikely to me am i doing something wrong. i cant affor HPS or other type of "high end" lighting plus the set up for heat venting... what to do !? shouldi still try 8 cfl !? or its net even worth it. help i maybe just realised my dream is crushed
EDIT:what do they mean by: Determining lumens for your grow area:
First determine the square footage of your area. What if i only use a small portion of my growing tent and like i said keep the CFL closer to the plant ?
would i need less bulb if i tell you i will only make 1 at a time and keep the light close to the unique plant !?
