Seems like i should go with the 42W since 20 plus something 26's is a bit too much for me. If i go with 42W with my min 48000 lumens i could get away with about 20 CFL 42W bulbs right? I made a post last night but i didnt go through. My closet has a 8 foot plank 5 feet high for my rack inside of it. I was thinking put about a 6 foot long plank 7 feet high. The current plank is about 3 1/3 inches wide 1 1/2 inches thick. Putting similar planks at 7 feet and topping that off with some plywood and create a ventilation system from thar, anyone think that would work? Also any suggestions on strain? I like Sativa. Also other than these DIY stores is there a specific place i can get the 42W dual spectrum CFL's? I think i might use HID or MH-HPS for flowering
I bet 12 42s would get them going. With 100% CFLs, you won't need all that expensive venting, an oscilating fan or two will do the trick. With HID and MH-HSP, you will need the venting.
Sativa will take about 20 weeks, (I said about) and Indica will take ABOUT 13 weeks, for maturity. You can cut off some vEGGING weks, but the Sativa takes 3 to 6 wekes longer to Flower, depending on a strain. Some strains, like my favorite Northern Lights, is a blen fo the two....adn takes 13 weeks total. AND Sativa needs a lot more height space than Indica.
Cheapest place for the 42s is Lowes, Walmart, Home Depot, or the Internet. Shop and compare prices.
