Question CFL's and seedlings
Hey, this is my first time growing and I was wondering what amount of Watts I should use on seedlings (if I want to use CFL's). I already have a 400W High-Pressure Sodium bulb, ballast and reflector (for later on), but I wanted to start them off with CFL's. I'm just not sure what to use

Thank you for helping me out

I use a the same 6500k 23w bulbs I use for veg. I use the daylight CFLs from Lowes rated @ 100w. Seedlings love them! I put them about 1 1/2" away from tops to minimize the stretch!

100W equivalent CFL's is what I was originally going to get.
So that's a good idea?

ATTENTION: CFLs ARE FUCKING BRIGHT AS FUCK. WEAR FUCKING GLASSES OR SOMETHING. I PUT TWO IN TODAY AND MY EYES HAVE BEEN HURTING EVER SINCE, BUT NOW I ROLL IN THE ROOM WITH SOME SUNGLASSES ON, CUZ I WEAR MY SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT, THEREFORE I AM BADASS. YOU CAN BE TOO GRASSHOPPERS...

I bet no girls masquerade with you.
I got 4 42w in a 1.5ft by 2.5ft by 4ft box and i feel your pain. Even though I see curly sunspots in my vision for the next couple hours after being in there its all for the ladies.
