Indoor Advice for my small growbox

Ok folks went to to my local Mitre 10 Mega, was quite surprised by the variety of lights there... Here's what I'm considering:

Yay or nay?

I'll have time on Thursday to do a comprehensive browse though, this was just after a 10minute squizz.

I like them. I wish I could get them where I live. 33w is max in the stores here. Anything bigger has to be bought on-line.

I guess they will be suitable then... now the question is how many?

Four, if you ask me. You start with just one turned on and at about two weeks, turn on the second, then the third and so on as your plant grows. Try doing a search for DIY CFL things for some ideas on how to get them set up in there. Getting it right before you start is better than messing around with them when your plant(s) are growing already- you tend to be too stressed and rushed then, and could mess up your plants.

Im going to say 3 135w is enough (eds plans had 4x25w) but if you can control temps fair play but 4x in but it will get warm try and keep ballast outside the box, You can but 125w grow cfl and there not that expensive online
I would also search out a differing spectrum to mix them up a bit check a local auction site
