I only need some 6500k CFL's for my micro PC grow, but the lowes nor hd near me have any above 9 watts and I don't have a large amount of room for lights. Would 3 of these lights,http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/53632/FC23-FEIIS23W64.html, be enough to veg a plant + 1-5 2700k 26w lights?

Here is a pic of the box - a screen which I still need so I kinda lied in the topic :S.

Are you just growing one plant? Those bulbs will do the job, I don't know how well, but they will do it...

I just got these same bulbs...I was a little surprised they are smaller in size than the two 6500k's I bought at Wally World

how many would you suggest I get to do something decent, I plan on having at least 8-10 bulbs in there at once, would that be a decent amount? this will be my 1st indoor grow, just wanna get some experience and maybe 3/4 oz if I'm lucky

8-10 would be good, I did my first grow with one plant and 10 20w cfls..... If it's your first time the best advice I can offer is just learn from it and worry about getting it right rather than yield... Not saying you can't pull 3/4 oz your first plant, but there is much that is not known if it is only your first grow...

Bought the last thing I needed today gonna start germin some bag seed, so any more input on if 1-6 of the 6500k and 1-5 of the 2700k would be enough for one plant

Line up 4 - 6500K bulbs, 92w will be plenty for a computer case. When you flip you'll have to mix in more colors. If you haven't seenPenyajos case grow you should check it out, it will most likely answer most of your ????.
