???????

Is a 52watt cfl enough to grow one plant?

yes, enough to grow the plant, is it enough to flower it? you might get 7-10 grams out of it thats my guess... is it worth it?

I would at least double or even triple. And it would be worth it.

that is not worth the risk. get more bulbs fo'shizzle

10 grams lol fuck no thats not worth it ahah so i should add another

If you can add two more it would be even better. One on top and two on the sides would be good.

It just would heat my closet too damn much! But i need to fersure! What about when i flower can i use those clf's?

Cfl dont give off much heat so i dont think heat would be an issue. But for flowering you want to use soft white cfls which are 2700 k and vegging use daylight cfls which are 6500 k

Okay thanks bro its just my closet already gets to80 81max for like for the time
the sun is on my side of the room then drops to 74/75 rest of the time

Add a fan in there and it should help some.

Lol i got a fan in there already and a stand uptower fan blowin into the closet as well

general rule is 100 watts per plant but more is always better as long as your temps stay in check. I tried CFLs in a grow box but temps were too high so I'm growing in a the guest shower with a
400 watt HPS and it's going real good. 3 weeks into flower and can't wait till the end. Good luck to you!

Damn thats whats upp good luck to you too bro stay high!

I run 315 watts and share that among 12 plants. 105w CFL per 4 plants.
Not the biggest crop. But works for me.

Yep , can be done.
Results will vary

Go for it and learn...Happy growing

Dope bro i wish i had more money to get a sicker setup an more females

Is there a bigger watt cfl bulb i can use instead of using two and still be able to fit in a regular overhead lamp

With low penetration light like flouros, you want to spread out your light source over as much of the canopy as possible. You can use one bigger bulb, but it's going to be harder to get good coverage. Smaller bulbs get more efficiency, spread the heat out more, and allow you to ensure good light coverage. For less than $5, you can turn 1 socket into three.

This belongs in the LED section...

sure but your talking $$$ and you sound like your trying to stay within a low budget, go to walmart and pick up a 12 pack of 23 watt cfl's ($24.00) in the appropriate spectrum for whatever stage of growth your in, be it veg or flower, then get those hooked up all around your plant, not just on top, in order to achieve greatest coverage, and get the bulbs within two inches of the leaves but never touching the plant if you can avoid it. Lastly have a small fan moving the air between the bulbs and plant in order to avoid hot spots and increase air circulation as well as strengthen the plants stem. With that your looking at a decent plant to be supported all the way through veg and flower and at the lowest budget range!

Hope that helped!
