How many watts per plant for flowering?

I have 2 light strips with 6 26 watt cfl bulbs each.

How many plants can I flower at one time with this setup?

These bulbs are 6500 K and the package states the light output to be 1600 lumens each.

Thanks!

you need the reddish cfl's for flowering. I believe they are 3500k.

6000k is for veg.

I would say 2 plants... maybe 3.

But to answer your question, maybe go for one or two. You'll probally be disappointed in the end though.

Thanks - I am just using these cfl's temporarily while waiting for lumatek to send a replacement ballast.

Do you guys think that I will be ok if the plants are flowering under the cfl's for a week?

Also - what do you think about adding some cfls to the 600 watt hps light I will be using?

Any benefit that you can think of?

a coupla extra cfls used with the hps wont do any harm...it will help create a more 'natural' light

they could help light the bottom or the sides of your plants. it couldnt hurt.
