Right now im running 6 T8 shoplights (2 6500k bulbs each) for about 33.6k Lumens over a 6x3 area or so. I might definitely go HID next season though, or even a T5 setup. I can get peter peppers to grow full and true with fruit, same with Habeneros, but the hotter peppers have a hard time growing to fruit in this setup. But that being said they do grow quite well and I have a fan set up to strengthen the stalks. I think next year though i wont be overwintering more than 1 or 2 plants. Ill start the seedlings in february though.
Nice little corner btw! I get my basement all to myself because the wife doesnt like it down there. lol. Plus the basement covers the whole bottom of my house so its about 1300sq ft total, so i could get REALLY crazy if i wanted to,
