I didn't say "too much" light... Sounds like a lot of light... Light is not the enemy HEAT is the issue with higher lumens... If you can keep the heat ventilated and the plants stay at around 77-78 Fahrenheit, you can pump as many lumens onto them as you'd like! More the merrier really, I was just suggesting the lumens per square foot to save you from over kill, they can only grow so fast!

These are phenomenal results for CFL's what wattage are you using? Not typical results I would think! What strain is this!?

 

[Gixxerman420]

Here ya go brother! This is what im running fer three plants. All 27 watt cfl daylights...blue spectrum. I have succesfully run 6 on this set up but wouldn't go much past that! And a shot of the red spectrum bulbs i use in flower.

Sorry, just realized you were using a red spectrum for flowering... I wasn't aware CFL's were available in a red spectrum that would support healthy growth... What K rating you looking at in your flowering chamber!?
