12000k super daylight cfl and the upper

hi guys, i got today 12000k super daylight cfls , i am having them both on the sides of my cabinet
and 2 upper neons .

i just have a question , are they good ( 12000k) and does anyone can give me advice on the best layout of cfls in a growing cabinet

here is the pic

Thats only 56 watts sir and it isnt enough you need atleast 100 watts and if its Daylight i think its good for vegitative growth. Never saw a 120k Daylight bulb

i got the 2 upper neons adding 20 each , so in total 106

what are you calling neon's? about as high kelvin you want is 6500k, and as low as 2500k. some people use a combo of different kelvin heats, some use one straight kelvin heat,to veg and another to flower. the sky is the limit. the 12000k bulb is for reefs in fish tanks. if you can get your money back or swap it, you may be better off. if not just build up around them with the better kelvin range. if they where outside they would get that light anyway.

neons are the long tubes in the top of my cabinet here is a pic

the 12000k are on the side and the florescent tubes ( 2) are above

is my setup good for lighting , do i need more or to make lighting more close
please give me directions on that becasue i dont know , my plant are getting sidways faster than growing up , is this the normal case ??

ok that looks like a t8 to t12 tube. that said you should have t5 ho tubes and a lot closer. the two cfls are not the best kelvin heat and are too far away. you really do need more light and better kelvin range. stick something under your plants and get them about 2" to 3" from the lights, and make sure to keep the temps between 75º and 85º. good luck.
