80w cfl setup?

[Nick!]

Ok guys i know it's crappy, really crappy...but what kind of micro grow box would you build to get the best out of a set of 3 cfl lights for a total of 80w and roughly 5000 lumens?
This would be an experiment...me and my friend we got nothing to lose and are willing to try. Also we are checking out other sessions of this forum (micro grow diaries, pc grow boxes etc...) to brainstorm ideas...any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance for any reply

Use 2 18 gallon Rubbermaid...stack one on the other so both top lips touch. Cut you some holes and scrog 1 plant... try and add a 4th cfls if you can...my first test grow was 4 23 watters...ended up alright...little airy but smoke it wa

Hey phatlewtz thank for your quick reply
That's some interesting stuff right there! We never thought about rubbermaid, we were more thinking about a wooden box of one square foot (we were looking in the "one square foot challenge session") and 28 inches in height. You said that you added an additional light and harvest was however a little airy, so i'm assuming that our light setting will suck no matter what...we'll see what to do

U can make it work pretty well...cfls and panda film go a long way...and to be honest my first liners were always white glad bags...a million and one uses..you can always buy those clip on lights with the aluminum domes and put a "y" connection for 2 23 watters..2 of those would fit your spot well too

Thanks again man, very helpful! Just for the heck of it, i want to share this video i found today on youtube. Apparently this guy grew some yummy looking Mango Kush in his pc. He said he used like just two 26w cfl...man i tell you that if this is true it means that one can do something good with very low wattage...i sure hope so!
