Little CFL help please.

[CflKingdom]

Hello every1 this is my first grow here at 420 magazine.

Im going to be growing in a wooden box that is 2feett 9inches deep by 3feet 6 inches wide, and its 3feet 1inches tall. I was wondering whats the basic lumen rule when using CFLs? How many lumens is needed per plant in veg/flower. Im going to be using CFLs through out the whole grow and I would like to get it started as soon as possible. I already have a good idea for nutes and soil. Im just curious about how much light i should be using! And im also gonna need to rig up a few fans for in/outtake.

thanks for the help guys. Ill be checking in frequently

As many as the ventilation can stand. I recommend 4 26w per plant hanging right over them. For 9 square feet and just 3 feet tall, you will need to go 12/12 from seed and watch the watering and light height. Keep them 2" off the plants and check them daily.

You need at least 2000 lumens per square foot of grow space...More is perfect, less is never good. The lumen output should be printed on the package.
