I'm looking to do a cfl setup for just 1 plant! I have looked everywhere and all I can find is people growing 3+ plants at a time! I need to know what kind of cfl lights I need to use... Also how much will this cost to run a month? And also need to know how many lights a will need!

For veg I used 1- 125watt 6500k (big bulb) and 6 23 watt (100watt equivalent) and for flower I have 1- 150watt 2700k, 4- 23watt (100watt equivalent) 2700k and 2 6500k.... you should be ok with that... im doing two plants and both are doing good... as far as the light bill I think mine went up 20 dollar at the most...
 
I've found some cfls that are friggin amazing, check out http://www.sungodlights.com/ I actually have better luck finding more variety of their products through amazon or ebay, just make sure its through the SunGod company itself, you will know by the the 1 year warranty they give (which is even more amazing). They are relatively new, but they blow anything out of the water that i have ever seen or used personally. Also i think there are a couple youtube vids out there too, check em out!

I have a plant growing as we speak it's about a foot and a half with no branches? It's been growing for almost 2 months! I don't get it! It's about a foot and a half maybe. It is a female! First one I grew died because I over watered it! This plant has been outside btw

Well it seems like your plant is stretching looking for light ... since it didnt get to veg much and is already flowering it will grow your nug in the middle... it didnt veg enough to produce spears...

Looks a little over watered, let her tell yu when shes thirsty the leaves will hang down... let it dry up so roots can grow and spread, only advice for next time fill up with soil up to the top so you can give more growing/spreading room to your roots as they are the most important of your whole plant, the more roots the bigger and better your fruits...

Thanks for the info!!! I still can't understand the veg state and flowering parts it's a little confusing but once I learn I'll be just fine! I have no farming experience not even with vegetables!!! The bad part is...I'm a redneck and have no idea how to grow plants LMAO! Thanks again :bigjoint:
