Ironrider, the bulbs we are using are (68w with a claimed Incandescent Equivalent: 300Watt) five of them... 6700k...not the 2700k the smaller ones put out....although I just came across some 200w cfl's with a claim of Incandescent Equivalent: 600 Watts putting out 5000k and giving them some thought......
But those bulbs are 50 bucks a pop and we will only be doing one or two more blooms in this box before we get our real grow room back with a lot more room for much bigger grows....with that we will go back to using our HPS/Metal Halide system and this box will become our clone box/mother keeper (with some changes made to the box of course)..so it's not worth it at this point...
But who knows...still might be worth giving a couple a try...
OK.Update
due to a smoldering fire in one of my bowls I misspoke (typed) last nigh that the CFL's we are using are 6700K....well they are not...after double checking it turns out these are also only 2700k...
Even though they are only 2700K we still don't see a need to change these at this time...But now we will look at these 5000k CFL's I came across a little closer before we decide ..... replacing a couple of the 2700k might be an option as well...if not just for the extra wattage...
We'll keep this updated to any changes we make to the set up....
