Using CFLs early to save $$

hello everyone, I grow in a single tent 3x3, for past 4 grows I use my 600w dimmable hps/mh the whole grow, starting seedlings first two weeks under 50% so 300w, then 450 for a week then full 600 the rest of grow.

To save some electricity I'm starting the next batch under some cfLs I usually do 6 plants, to start I have 6 100w equivalents , true 26w i believe. The correct spectrum etc, just wondering how many cfLs to maintain 6 seedlings from germ to beginning of veg growth

Thank you very much

6 seedlings?...2-3 weeks veg with 6 bulbs,any longer or bigger the plants i'd get more cfl or fire up the mh until your ready to flower.GL
