for vegging you need daylights atleast 5000k i have 20 100cfl's in my grow
I have a lot of cfl's too, sometimes I think too many, but then I look at my plants and add more. For flowering ALONE I have 18 bulbs, ranging from 23-42 actual watts, like around 500 watts actual. And thats 3 plants at the moment. Veg has like a little over 200 actual watts. I'm about to put more in my veg cab because I just started a bunch of plants and clones recently.
P.S.-Try to stick with 23w+ for bulbs...13w bulbs are just kinda weak, their light isn't as bright, even if you add a bunch more.

I love growing with CFL's...it is my new favorite hobby! I have been experimenting with them for about 3 years now and have found you can get a great yield with two 42 W 2700k bulbs above and two 23 W 2700k bulbs on the sides per plant. I use the 2700k throughout the entire grow. This may not be ideal but it is more cost effective for me.
tkns ill keep that idea in the back of my mind.....Originally Posted by cannabis pharmer

yeah, my cool whits are 4100 kelvins :P and for the amount of lights, its still experimental for me, plus i don't have such a large of a budget so im trying with what i have, and see how it goes... anyways thanks for your comments :P

Hey I<3,
Im doing my first grow, which just happens to be with CFL's. I have 8 26w*6500k Daylight. I also have my 4 plants on a 22/2 light schedule. I dont know the temp in the room but I would guess in the low-mid 70's.
It looks like your a week behind me maybe. Ill be keeping up with your status. Feel free to visit my grow in my signature.
Peace
