if your trying to produce a qp every 2 months your going to need at least 10,000 lumens per square foot. thats what the sun is. and your going to have to do everything right. u will have to grow like 4 plants and get one ounce off each, have two plants and hope u get 2 ounces per plant. only experience and skill can give you big crops

Hey there guys.. Im curious I have 75 watts cfl.. What could the lumens be? It doesnt tell me this on the box..
Im looking to grow about 4-6 plants, and going to get atleast 6 lights to start.. Im probably going to get 3 -2800k, and 3 -6500k.. Any thoughs on this from anyone?
I seen many guys on the forum that have had great success with CFLs, so I dont know why you are so down on the idea gardenman.. Did you ever see Humboldts pics from his CFL garden.. His arent even 75 watts.. Atleast I dont think they are..
Here is his pics..Humboldt's Growing Adventures! Up & Away!

I recently baught a 400watt hps/mh , actually its still coming in the mail. Now I have been growing with 4 65 watt cfl and they have been doing a good job but all my research kept telling me to get a hps system for many, many, reasons. Like many of us on here im not a rich man so i had to search around either for a used on or something ..so anyway I went on ebay and let me tell you there are some GREAT deals on there...the one I baught was from a store its a 400 watt HPS/MH it comes with two bulbs, 400watt hps ballast, batwing reflector, AND theyn threw in a FREE timer for 164.00 with shipping it was 204.90 brand new..comparative it was a GREAT deal. the store has like 34 of them left or something like that, but if you choose you can bid on someones used one...I actully was bidding on one and it reached 102.00 I didnt bid anymore cause I was thinking that i would just get a new one if im going to go that high. but that 102.00 was with everything that i baught throgh the evay store. so I recommend you go to and ebay store or similar you can get some great deals. I cannot wait to get mine in so I can use it immideatly and see if i can notice a change ..IM POSITIVE it wll...smoke on on.....;peace
