I'm getting ready to build a small room (21"x33"x64"). Because of budget constraints, lack of room and no desire to deal with heat, I've decided to go with CFLs for now. If I use six of these: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...PDQ&lpage=none with six of these: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...791&lpage=none will it be enough for six plants in flowering? I intend to have one light for each plant. Will it be enough?

I've never used CFLs before. Back when I used to grow, I had an entire garage split into two rooms, one with a 400w HPS for veg and the other with two 1000w HPS's for flowering. But this is totally different.

This will be my flowering room only. I'll continue to use the smaller space I have my plants in now for veg.

Any help is be greatly appreciated.

Get a small HPS .. CFL's are cool for vegging BUT an HPS is the way to flower


Small being 400-600 watts

im not sure about those bulbs, cant see the kelvin rating. but i do know you will probably need a lot more than one bulb per plant. check out my project in my sig to see an example of how a lot of people set up their stuff. also there are a lot of cfl journals around here where people have got some outstanding results (cannabizness's 10 oz's from 2 plants in a rubbermaid box is a shining example for most of us). good luck!

What about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-150-watt-HPS...3A1%7C294%3A50

not nearly enough light. count on 75 actual watts (your bulbs are 23 actual watts) per square foot of growing area. that's about 450 watts total compared to 190 watts provided by your 6 bulbs. the next largest size of cfl bulb is 42 watts, and your fixtures can handle it, so that's what i'd go with.

if you can get that hps 150 and cool it etc. i would definatly go for it! that thing puts out 16,000 lumens i believe, and you will get much denser buds than 150 watts of cfl's will give you. thats the prevailing wisdom anyways, i havent used a hps personally only cfl's.

Those would be fine for 6 plants during veg (even so it take them a while to grow to maturity with those crappy bulbs).. as for flowering with them, it will NOT be worth your while dude, sorry.. the yield will suck pretty bad, even if they DO flower
I suggest you look into LED lighting.. no heat problems, and you can get red and blue lights then during flowering just increase the number of red lights and you are golden.. those crappy lowes light will make your electricity bill sky rocket too.. dont use those bulbs man... good luck!

By no way am I an Expert... But I do know that Cfl's you can flower with , You will get light airy buds .. But LEDS are the worst ever... Thats BAD Advice

i heard that home depot is selling 68 watt bulbs for $15 so id go with those.

you can get good buds with cfls, you just have to tend to your light positioning a lot and keep em close.
maybe take a look at this thread and you will see a new world of possibilities:

1163 Grams Wet, CFLs RUN SHOW, also 22 viable seeds!
