ive got 5 White Shark seeds that have sprouted now and i have them under a grow light i bought from walmart. that is only temperary but i was wondering how many cfl bulbs will i need for them? im growing in a 4'x4'x6' area. how man k will i need? i want to get a decent yield out of this. also wat are them Y lookin sockets called that you can put 2 bulbs into 1 socket called??lol thanks ahead of time!
 
White Shark likes a lot of light. At least 400w min. I have had a lot of success with the Phillips 42w 6500k. Use about 10 for the veg but you only have a 21 day veg cycle so you could possibly use them to flower, seems like an interesting strain. If you just want flower lighting Phillips has a 2 pack of 23w 2700k lights but the info on weednet means you would need 10 packs. Good Luck.
 
if your ganna grow cfl you need a lot ... i had 12 42w set up in a small grow cab and my buds where still fluffy... if you can you need to get atleast a 100w hps and vent somehow... im telling you cfls can be good but under PERFECT conditions besides that they arnt the best
 
well ive got some other white sharks at a friends house underneath a 100watt mh vegging. will be using hps for flowering. but im jus tryin to get a decent amount at my place using cfl's casue im at my parents house still but there cool jus dont want a huge ass electric bill. understandable.
wat about t5's?
