Best CFL setup?

whats up guys,

I recently sold my 250 watt HPS lamp do to heat and hassle and now would like to give Cfl's a try. I have the room to grow about 5 plants indoor and wanted to know what you guys thought would be the proper wattage for that many plants. I have about 150 bucks to spend on lighting. Can i make this work? what type of bulbs are best for this?


thanks alot

depends what kind of cfls you use 27w or 42w at 5500k or 6500k thats good for veggin for five plants i would prob use 15 27w cfls but that depends on the desing of the light fixture you would like to build

thanks for the info,

what would u recommend for flowering?

42w---150w equivalent soft white cfl bulbs i would use 2-3 of those per plant for flowering

Just check out Sunleaves.com

I have 4 of their CFL's.

2 - 125w 6500K @ 10,500 lumens each

2 - 125w 2700K @ 9,000 lumens each
