I have just recieved my new hydro system, a 6 pot (3 inch pots) Bubble and drip system. I am going to start BCN Diesel and The Church Seeds. What lighting do I need for vegetation? I plan on getting a 90 watt led in about 3 weeks for flowering. Do flouresent red lights work for flowering or should I stick with the led? Thanks for any advise you can give.

2700k cfls(red) will be fine for flowering for veg you could get 6500k cfl(blue) or get a Mh bulb you could still get the led and add it with the cfls for flowering

I have one more question for you. If I decide to use cfl's for flowering, how many will I need for six plants in a 16" by 12" by 7" hydro system? It will be in about a 4by4 closet. I thank You for your input no one else replied to either of my questions.
