just got hold of a little box which I thought would be perfect for some bonsai moms, and a small cloning area for a drbud/thundurkel style grow, the box is 14" high, 10" deep, 24" wide. To be taking pots slightly wider but not as tall as a beer cup as usd to good effect on this ere forum.
read OT1's bonsai guide and it says 20w/sqft of fluoro lighting, preferably cool white.. but this guide was written a long time ago..
I'm looking at triphosphor (high output) fluoros, and i'm trying to figure out how to light it.. don't want to waste electricity by having unecessary light if possible..
i'm thinking possibly a 2' 24w 6500k daylight T5HO, and an 18" 14/15w T5/8 2700k warm white tube.. or a 24w 6500 and a 24w 4000k cool white T5HO's if the first option isnt enough..
thoughts? help needed guys as i'm close to finished but this is holding me up cheers folks
