New maine grower with CFL questions and more...

whats up guys i just joined this sh*t today and im sick of scannin through everything and im gettin mixed info on CFL's. Right now i have a sensi star strain under 24/7 light (3 daylight 26w CFL's) as its been for a month. Problem is im seeing all this talk about really high lumen output and mine read that they only give 1600 lumens each. I dont know if thats fine for one plant or not but id like some recommendations on what to get if this isnt sufficient. Also i am wondering when i can switch to the 12/12 cycle?

depends on the size of the plant you said a month so maybe a foot give or take about 6 inches. you might want to add a few more depending on how much longer you plan on vegging, and if your flowering soon you DEFINITELY want to add light and change the spectrum.

oh and you can switch to 12/12 whenever you want, it just depends on how big you want it as it will double in size for flowering

Alright i get most of what your sayin man. The plant is 5 inches tall right now and really full (bushlike). I think i will be switching to 12/12 this week sometime and i already have 3 26w soft white as well for the flowering stage, how many more bulbs do you think i will need if im sticking with the same 26w bulbs? thanks a bunch bro

more light is always better, if i were you i would get at least 2 or three more soft white for flowering. no prob.

Alright thanks again man take it easy
