Can some one help me with how many CFL lights will I need for 30 vegging plants ?

I was just wondering if any one had some info on CFL lights and how many plants to one light I'm not sure what volt to get either possibly 250 ?? I will be having the cuttings in 1.5l pots as soon as the roots come threw on the cuttings I hoping to veg for 4-5 weeks and then put them under a 600w hps lights.

You will need 50 watts per square foot of area...

Thanks the veg room size is about 5ft by 5ft so ya saying I'd need about 5 250v lights ?

Thanks for ya reply

Your going to veg for 4 weeks? 600 HPS isn't going to be enough to flower 30 plants after a 4 week veg, and your grow area isn't going to hold 30 flowering plants. Just thinking ahead for you lol.

Na I got 8x600w lights in flower room

And I was hoping to just get them as big as I can in this space before moving to the other room just to speed da process up a bit to be honest mate

why wouldn't you use the 600w to grow in veg until you're ready to flower then? It'll be far more efficient than a cfl setup.

Dude just get a couple 4 foot 8 bulb t5.

You know how much it will cost for cfl and the pain in the ass to work with?

I got two of these and they work great.

CFL's tend to be put close to plants so you may need to get a fair few for 30 plants in 1.5 liter pots(are they a foot in diameter?). See if you can get a bunch of 23W. Personally I would look at getting a couple of 600W MH/ some LED's or a couple of CMH, you'll end up being a lot happier

All I want to do is speed up my process so once my flowered plants are ready and cut down then I got 30 plants to go strait in the flower room I can even give them a weeks veg in the flower room I just change the timer about what would be the easiest/cheapest light set up for 30 vegging plants in 1.5ltr pots I will be putting into 15ltr pots once in flower room

Thanks for the replies

Get the T5's, 2-3 4x4' HO's would be my choice as stated earlier

Lots

all of them, every last one..
