200w CFL Cool & Warm Spectrum for Cabinet

[SendHere]

I'm considering buying an 8 plant Hydro Cabinet. I would use both warm and cool 200W CFL Spectrum. The CFL light source is fixed at the top or the cabinet with dimensions 29x23x35. Can this setup grow Cannabis? If so, how many plants would be okay to grow? And, which light is for vegetation and which is for flowering? Thanks.

CFL are pretty weak as it is. You wont be able to grow 8 plants under 200w. 2 plants max. The blue spectrum is for veg and the red spectrum is for flower stages. You didn't mention any other gear though which you need. Carbon filter, extraction etc.

This. Go with 4 under 600w or 8 under 1,000w, it's not that expensive to run. Like £1 a day for a 18/6 cycle.

I just read that I can swap an HPS bulb for the CFL. What lumens should the HPS bulb be for max plants?

You also need an extraction fan connected to the filter. What brand is the filter? You don't wanna stink out the area and get caught.. CFL is self ballast units. If you wish to use a mh or hps, you need a ballast.

It would be great if you could check out the cabinet and give your thoughts. If you would: SuperBox CFL Grow Cabinet

Better off getting a small tent. Just my opinion. That unit is a dedicated CFL grow so I wouldn't bother with it. All you need is a tent, rhino filter + extract fan. 400w+ ballast plus bulb/s and the odd extra's like medium, nutes etc. The way I see it now, the more tight your budget is and rushed. The less likely you will be able to produce anything worth smoking. If you don't get caught that is. So make sure to buy a good branded filter. Not a generic cheap one.

I think your right. I'll start my research. Thanks.
