Default My CFL, is it good enough?

Hey guys


So i have 3 babies under a 125w CFL

6400K Full Spectrum Daylight bulb


Do you think I'll need another to take care of them better?



Or is one sufficient enough? (i only plan to have 3 plants at a time)

And it is an inch or two away from the plants, thats good enough right?


Thanks in advance

if you want to reach your full potential you need three of those bulbs. one for each plant.

arrange them in a circular configuration with the lights spaced in between them if possible. i think you will find that the challenge is not lumens with cfls but penetration.
having a few big watt bulbs (85+watts with interspersed 40watts bulbs works wonders)

i'd say atleast one per plant to get much of anything....but i'd put two on each plant just to reach a decent amount one for three is not going to be enough they will stretch and that will not flower them

pick up a few of the 27 watt cfl's and a cord and socket and give each side atleast one of the 27 watters with the 125 watt on top with a reflector over the top of it..it will help fill out the plant nicely..

Depens on the 125w bulbs you got because some of them 125w cfls has 8000 lumens and some have 12000 lumens
2 x 125w bulbs will grow 4 plants but not in flowering .
