how much cfls should i use for vegging?

i was woundering how much cfls i should use for vegging right now the plant is 10" and iam using 1 40w and another 42w cfl is that enough or do i need more??

i have heard that 6500k(daylight) spectrum help to promote females if used alone(no other spectrum) but not sure of the results. But a mixed spectrum is also healthy for the plant. Get at least 2 to 3 cfls per plant for now... and add more lower around the plant as it gets bigger. if you train the plant in a circle like i do you can actually pack a fairly powerful cfl in the middle of the plant.

ok i have 2 cfls in the front of the plant now tommorow i will buy another cfl 22w and put in along the side of the plant

I have been looking to get this light to put in the middle and and then pack in 26 watt and 42 watt bulbs from wallyworld

105 Watt CFL - Spring Lamp - Full Spectrum - 6500K - Major Lamp #SHO-105W-WW Light Bulb

yeh thats what i need to get how would they be at home hardware or any other local store

will them bulbs work in a standard light fixture

not the 100w cfls but the 40 and 42w will

how do u train a plant in a circle?

for 10" if your plant is bushy.. i would have much more lighting..

Get a 42 watt 2700k cfl for on top then surround your plant with 23watt 6500k cfls
