Yeah, those 26w 6500k will get the plant going. For flower, use the 42w 2700K (warm white). You can also mix the two when flowering but keep the ratio heavier on the red side.

Last time I was at the department store I saw that GE had a new 45w warm white which produces 2900 lumens. Maybe you can find those.

*edit*
Those 42watters are listed as soft white.

this sounds like a good deal but I'd to too afraid of the conversion ,, and its a 220v so so will you get all the lumen at 120v
not really sure !!

is 120v all you guys got?
thought you had 240v outlets too or is that just some ppl?

i got two 125w from that guy last year, $50 delivered, couldn't buy one for that price locally.
they were cheap, they're built cheap, they look and feel cheap, but they're really bright and plants grow under them

Oh yeah sorry, I meant 26W not 23W.. My buddy did a full cfl grow using just the 26W daylights, and 26W soft whites (which you can find at some grocery stores/ larger chains) for a buck a piece.. Just buy 10-15 of those suckers for flowering.. gets the job done.

i have enough room for 6 lights so i think I'm gonna pick up 2 more 6500 26 watt daylight cfl's and a couple 42 watt cfls i also need to grab a thermometer, ph meter,and a fan . i was thinking about putting a tube flouresent bulb along one of the sides and should i move the light closer to the plant any advice would be greatly appreciated

$5 a piece, 2000 lumens, soft light. 5 of these on one stealth plant should be enough.
