Hiya brewster05, looking good so far..how come you went for so many little CFL...I know some peeps go this way...

85w = 4250 Lumens - Distance
45w = 3000 Lumens - Distance(x2)
23w = 1500 Lumens - Distance(x7)
40w = 2650 Lumens - distance(x4)


85+90+92+69+160=496w per Hr

might make more sense to get a 1x Giant CFL or Hps Setup(+possible CFL for lower growth)

what kinda space you got to work with?

Peace

EDIT: Never done that 12/12 from Seed, might have to give it a go....

i will change the some of the 23w light's with the 40w as soon as i get them.
hiya brewster05, that would bring your Electrical usage down a bit? though wasn't saying You doing it wrong or owt wrong..just wondered? I mean if you don't mind the expense and haven't got any problems with Temps then why not add em to existing ones...lots different Folks go different routes with Grows...I mean I use about £2 a day and I have a Fair few bulbs burning bright(though at mo 2 x Grow Space on 12/12)

I still use CFL for 2 lots of Grows at different stages + got a 250w Hps setup...my Grow spaces came about because of...I dunno...thinking I would have more Failure..but didn't so ended up adapting any Little space I could find..Lol

1 Grow Room(Cupboard) has got 1 X Giant Dual CFL + 3 X 30w 2700K
2nd Grow Room(Cabinet) has 1 X 50w 6400K + 2 X 30w 6400K
3rd Grow Room(Biggest Cupboard 4'x3'x8') 250w Hps(which once I've sorted out main Grow is being upgraded to 600w) :-o

Still got a box full of CFL, kinda collected em on FleaBay every time I spotted a Bargain...

Peace
 
A friend gave me the seed's so idk what strain they are. i got 3 females out of 4 :), also how long do you think till they will be done maybe another 4 or 5 weeks?
