i'd say 6 - 10... the more the better

but i'd recommend picking up some warm 2700k which are better for flower

AFAIK 6500 is only for veg, I have 3 28watt 6500k bulbs from wallmart on a 3 inch and a new seedling.

Not sure how many you have to get for that many plants.

and you don't need as many to veg as you would want for flower

so you can pick up more later.. =]

CFLS smaller then actual 150 watt ( actual 150 watts not equal to but actual 150 or higher) is a waste of time and money. I used 400 watt hps setup is under $75 used and is less of a fire hazard.Dont waste your money just buy the 400 watt hps light and get bigger yields, tighter buds, and faster grows.
