Im gonna try to grow two plants using the four foot fixture on the link below and purchase both day light and warm light tubes for veg and flowering. The day light is at 5850 k and 2450 lumens. The warm light is at 3400 k and 1700 lumens. I will probably buy like a 100 or 150 watt cfl to put in between the two plants. Do you think I will be successful with getting a good size amount of bud from each plant?

those will be alright for vegging, but you will need more light for flowering. definately for 2 plants and a decent yeild. g/l
 
yeh dude those are 6500k's u gonna need reb spectrum light for flower thell work fine for veg but u gotta change them try warm white cfl's
 
I think he means something like these. Veg in 6500k and the flower with 2700k. This tutorial is pretty informative as well. https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/107992-tutorial-growing-cfls.html

Yes when I buy the light fixture im gonna get both sets of day and warm light tubes for the fixture. Also im gonna buy at least 2 day/warm light cfl to put in between the two plants. Do you think I will get successful plants with this sort of stuff.

????? Why should we do your leg work? This forum is for people looking for info. YOU really should take some more initiative in your grow and read, read, read, read, rather then just ask a question every step of the way.

There is a lot of great information on this forum but you should really go out and get it.

I have already done hours of research, I just wanted to know if that is a good deal or not before I buy it, that is all.

I guess I'm unfamilar with the t5's and t8's, im going to have to do more research.

is that a 100 watt equivelent? many people talk in actual wattage on the forum so that will help ya to understand what people are doing. The equivelant is just a incandesant comparison but the actual wattage is what you want to know. If you are doing 4 of 5 100 watters you won't have any problems with enough light!

Good luck on your grow man, didn't mean to offend you earlier but there are alot of people that go hijack peoples forums with some questions easily found by searching, at least you were asking a questions in your own thread though! :)

Yes the cfl would be 1oo watt equivalent something like 23/1oo watt I think. I know the t5 are better then the t8 but not by to much, at least that is what I read about on the net. Im gonna get the t8 because the price is way lower. Anyways thanks for the apology and I have two that sprouted and one that should in a few days. Im hoping for at least one male and one female because I only have a few more seeds left.

sounds good, i started a journal and we're pretty close to the grow so maybe we can compare/contrast and bs about our plants :)

Also, as far as the fixtures go you can get the 4 ft fixtures from HD for about $8 a piece which will hold two tubes, you'll need extra for side lighting.... Good luck
