hello,
I've been doing alot of research on CP artificial lighting because I desire to grow my plants indoors so recently I've built a custom lighting unit its 22" wide 10" long and 10" tall with a total of 10 26watt 6500K compact florescent bulbs the screw in kind I have the bulbs aproximatly 8" from the plants and when I have my hand near the plants I can feel the warmth of the light. However the heat isn't an Issue since I built the unit with legs to sit on my night stand and the plants to be in pots beneath it. So I was just curious if anyone here has an opinion if this will be enough light I have a capensis,Lanata,Kennealyii,spathulata,B-52 and a Dente Thank you:)
