the light will be fine,he dont need to update till flowering.those high wattage cfls will blow ur mind,they put out like 12000lumens by them self,wich is perfect to veg a monstrosity of a foot or so.

i know the light is fine,cus i have a 125w 6500k 12000lumen bulb and it does great.just waiting for money to clear then ill buy another light.
