Also what you can do is, on a later stage or when you get to flowering.. Flog the whole lot and get a 400 led. But like i say only on a later stage.. Something to think about..

I think you should be good on lighting ..you have just over 500w i think thats good for the space you have and the one plant ..are you planning on putting more plants in there ?..but in the future for ur next grows down the road would be goodto invest in a 400w to 600w full spectrum LED... that way ur not struggling to fit lights you'll have ideal lighting ..will fit ur space perfectly ..very low on heat dispersion soo you dont over heat the space ..but what you have is still great and will work just fine id say get a couple fans in there for air circulation. look up DIY (do it urself) co2 generators very easy to make and use they work great for small spaces .and you should be mint !!

Hope this helps ya ..grow on my friend

I love me a CFL grow ! Don't forget to maximise your CFLs they can go very close to it without burning it like HPS would! Don't worry about light watt just yet your only in veg wait for big size and few weeks to shop online for a few small led side bars for lower leaf penetration.

Keep on going the first grow will never be the last ! Once you've learnt you won't stop .
Peace and I'm subbed in for any advice from a CFL grower! Check my current CFL closet grow if you can .

Id make a reflector still mate. And get those cfls side ways. Heres an idea.

This is how id do it. How you got it will do the job. Just my 2 cents worth.
Yes you now have enough light for a decent grow. Id still upgrade down the track.

grow n steady wins the race

I like that idea or you can get them to point down still slightly to the side, with reflectors the side of them if you know what i mean.. And that sat the cfl's can still get closer...

Looking good Damn421 Loving how you converted that fridge into a grow box, with a pulley on the light and all. Gonna enjoy watching this grow, no doubt.
