Also, it's been 18 minutes dude calm the hell down. Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe, there are 3 other people like you? Maybe they don't know either.

Ignore the light wattage. The electrical power is all that matters. You need about 100W per pant as a very rough sort of minimum. Anything less than that and your buds will be too thin. I'm using 465W power for just 2 plants (and 400W of that is HID, which puts out more light than CFL anyway).

Then that thread I linked should have clarified immensely. It tells you exactly what kelvin temp you should use for veg and flower, there's an entire section entitled "Color Temperature". As far as the wattage you need, the answer is "Alot more". The specifics of that would also be best cleared up in the cfl forum. Hell there's one person who got a book published on small CFL grows, that person has a how-to in the CFL forum as well. Also, that link is a thread which is part of a much larger forum full of people that just grow with cfls; that was not the forum itself that I linked you.

each bulb with have a number on the base that will read..... 2700k, 3200k, 5000k, or etc.

For veg you use 5000k-6500k "daylight spectrum"
For flowering you use 2700k-3600k "soft/warm light spectrum"

As for being impatient and RUDE!!!! YOUR WELCOME, NEXT TIME PLEASE READ!!!! The guide they posted for you says it all!!!!

THIS IS A HOBBY/SKILL THAT TAKES TIME, AND PATIENCE'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN RUSH.... OR MORE ESPECIALLY BE SO FREAKING RUDE!!!

Also as far as the number of lights go.... if they draw 23-30 watts of power, you need at least 8 for a 18x30 in cab. for veg and 12-16 in the same size cab for flower.... in the above ref. spectrum for whichever stage of growth you are in.

Dude, kpmarine posted that very helpful link about 6 hours ago... you could have read it 100 times by now.. it's not that long, and it's very informative. READ IT!

This thread belongs in "Newbie Central"...

With 5 minutes of research you can figure out what to do.

Why not learn before you grow?

Do people really just go buy a bunch of stuff then visit rollitup to ask a bunch of questions that can be answered in 10 seconds by google..?

Just do not understand sometimes.

I do not mean to be rude, but just do some reading, watching, learning before hand..
