Default Question about using CFL lights
Just wondering if a set up with three 26watt CFL's would be enough total light to grow a small group of phals. I want to have two shelves, and hang the lights from the top shelf and have the plants on the second shelf. I have reflectors for the lights, but I'm worried they might get very hot during use. I'd like at least a 36in long by 20in deep shelf. Is this enough light, or do I really have to wait and get more plants until I get a bigger place?
