Can a cfl bulb be placed right or even touching the plastic of my tub?
    #22148491 - 08/26/15 07:39 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

first time grower and im about to start fruiting, but can i place my bulb right against my container or close to it? I know they don't emit a bunch of heat, but i was wondering if its at all a safety hazard.

As close as it can be without touching is fine, yeah.  I keep mine like an inch or so away from the top window in the tub.

Pretty damn close. Especially if it is a low watt CFL. They stay cool.... Compared to my HO 600watt equivalent plant grow lights ( they are 12" long MOSTERS!!!!  ...:thumbup:

just dont know how the roomate will react, and don't want anyone knowing my business. anyways, will 1x 7w led bulb that puts out ~450 lumens suffice? if not will 2 work?

Everyone here helping this dude past this point is contributing to the possibility of an uninvolved person going to prison.  Just putting that into simple terms so you guys know what you're getting into.
