How many and how much watts? VEGGING

How many plants: maybe 5 ( THC Bombs, bubble...)


FOR VEGGING! (Going with HPS for flowering)

How many watts should I go for?

And how many bulbs?

I want to keep a low amount of bulbs so that means the wattage I need increases, I was thinking that I need to get 60+ watt CFL
Should I mix 6500K with a few 2700K during vegging?

And where can I get the bulbs that you recommend?
ONLINE SHOPPING ONLY!

And, WHAT setup do I need to run the CFL's? I know I need a surge protector but thats about it, need help on the setup of them!
THANKS!kiss-ass

105 Watt - CFL - Compact Fluorescent - Spring Lamp - Full Spectrum 5000K - EIKO # 81180 Light Bulb

those are good.

get a couple of those and maybe a few 60w and that should be enough.
You would be better off using all 6500k unless you have a few extra 2700k lying around not being used.

as far as setup, where do you plan on growing? closet? box? kitchen?

Its going to be a 5 foot tall metal storage cabinet, I already ordered 2 mil mylar

try looking at some of the cfl threads for inspiration. one time i made a frame for a bunch of cfls out of PVC pipe and hung that right above the plants. worked good.
