I have about 3 plants growing right now and they just started and I need cfls. Do I get alot of low wattage ones with each about 5000K or just get like one 85 Watt 6500K ? I don't know how many to use . And when I move to flowering don't I need like a 2700K light? Should that be a cfl or does it matter ?

i would get a few of those 85w 6500k cfls for veg, then when you want to flower switch to 12/12 and add in some 2700k cfls. the more light you have, the more bud. if you can afford, an hps light is awsome for flowering. good luck with the grow

the 85 watt 6500k bulbs are fine for vegging but u should try to get a hps for flowering it will produce a lot more lumens than a cfl and the spectrum is 2000k which is better for what the plants use when flowering.
