Bigger or Smaller CFLS?

[denieddd]

Would it be better to put 4 26w 6500k CFL's for vegging or a single 105w 6500k CFL.

Keep in mind this is a pc grow so heat is a factor. Though i plan to put a good sized fan and in the correct spot in my box.

The smaller bulbs will work beter in a pc grow, if for no other reason than to save on the space of thickness of the bulb.

I think smaller bulbs cast a lot less heat. A 27w bulb can be kept within 2" without any issue, maximizing the amount of light. Higher wattage bulbs are just too hot and as a result a lot of the light they cast is lost in those first few inches.

I'm down with the <30w variety for sure.
