Hi all ive seen some lights that iam thinking of getting eBay.co.uk Shop - Planet Hydro: Lighting CFL Eco-Light Ecolite Envirolite 125w 200w:

Now iam thinking of buying two of the 125 watt eco lights grow ,,,and 2 125 watt eco lights bloom(for the flowering stage)..

Would these light's be alright for me starting off and also would i be able to grow 4 to 6 plants under these lights.

And also when they start flowering do i put the bloom light's on straight away(when i go 12 12)?

YES, these lights will be GOOD. You need a fan and you need to keep the lights close to yor plants. Have th fan blowing the heat created by the bulbs away from your foliage.

When I say close.. I mean 1-4 inches..

USE all the lights all the time...

and finally.. the number of plants depends on how big you grow THEM...
If you are going to grow 6 plants, you will want to flower them around 6-12 inches tall.

cheers

yes...

keep them all on..
keep them very close to your plants.. less than 1 inch.. and use a fan to gently blow the heat of the lights away from your plants..
