what is the most cfl's you have ever had running?

Just curious what kind of wattage and lumens you have worked with and what were the results. I currently have 3 85w bulbs and 5 42w bulbs going on 5 plants and I'm at 28100 lumens.

This is my first grow but I have 3 65 watts and 7 42 watts on three plants. I'm 4 weeks through flower and they are looking good!

Two.
I only use them for the Germ/seedling stage.

I'm preparing to start my first grow, 2 plants, each with 12 23w bulbs.

I am on my first grow also and I have 5 30w on each plant, but plan to add more up to maybe 10 23W cfls on each plant towards late beg and into flower...

I veg six plants with six 65 waters in about 6 sqf. Clearly I'm anal.

i have 10 lights going

I use eight CFLs above the one tree that I grow at a time, and four CFLs stationed around the tree. Still using a few older 42w bulbs but am upgrading to 55w and 65w bulbs for future grows.

Presently, I am in the flowering stage and, of the eight bulbs above the tree, five are 42w bulbs one of which is 6500k the others 2700k, each with 2800 lumens. Three are 65w 6500k bulbs running 4000 lumens apiece. Total lumens from above equals 26000. The four side bulbs are 55w 2700k bulbs at 3600 lumens each, or 14400 lumens total.

The cabinet has 40400 lumens.

four . 4 foot 8 bulb set ups in flower. 2700k. and total of 180thousand lumens 8 plants per light 32 total. start flower 1 foot finish 2.5 feet yield 1.5 per oz plant. high quality. electric bill only. dollars entire flowering cycle. 3 gallon pots. as a general reminder every post from me or screen name kinddiesel is or was related to ghost chilly peppers. from my first post to any post in the future or reply.

230 dollar entire cycle electric bill

For veg I use 6 42w bulbs (3 6500k, 3 2700k) and 1 large 200watt bulb (6500k). &4 42w bulbs (6500k) for clones.
Then my 600 HPS for bud. (Clone/veg and flower are different rooms).

8 lights 500w, flowering now and looking good.

my buddy had 80x26watts (about 2000watts) ya but now he was a hps so but his set up was crazy.

I tend to over indulge in the lights.. currently have 5 100w CFLs on one single plant and things have always gone very well for me.... When in doubt load em up.....https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/701675-first-cfl-hobby-grow-amnesia.html

20 23 watt cfl 35000lumens

8x 26watt (1750 lumnes) + 1x 125watt (7700 lumens) = 333watts (for good luck) @ 21,700 lumnes....all goes to one plant, almost about to stick a fork in her!

why does my plant look like this?

Overwatered...I can see mold or fuze growing on the top of your soil, which is BAD, I would transplant or hold back on watering till that drys up. Also, check your pH to be sure that it's not off...good luck!

Because it's sitting in a cup of mud.

Seriously - get some good soil, add 30% pearlite and 15% worm castings and upcan.
I bet you'll like the results.

it was cotton from bed i had it under my bed it got on to the soil and i thought i overwater with nutrients too its been like this for about 4 days not change in growth or anything someone said flush it so i gave it just alittle watter from tap cause the water i used before was ph 7.7 and the one i used now was 6.5
