[onelove]

I have one plant that i'm growing in my closet I have compact fluro's that are 75watts i was told that since there soft white they will not work please tell me this is not true I also have a halogen flood ligth well this work for me I know its all about the lumens so does that mean as long as i have the right lumens it doesnt matter what type of light trying to give cazper a break with all my questions

compact fluoros are definitely good, but a friend of mine used a 500w halogen flood light and burnt his grow room and his plants. halogen lights create a lot of heat and spread light unevenly. it would be better if you stuck to fluoros or perhaps invested in a metal halide or a hps light.

how big is this closet you're talking about?
