WHAT'S UP GUYS,:hump:

UM...I WAS WONDERING WOULD SIX 42 WATT WARM WHITE 6500K CFL'S BE ENOUGH LIGHTING FOR TWO PLANTS (THAT I PLAN ON PUTTNG THROUGH LOW STRESS TRAINING) TO GO THROUGH VEGETATIVE STAGE IN A 2 FOOT SIDE TO SIDE/3 FOOT BACK TO FRONT/3 1/2 FOOT TOP TO BOTTOM GROWBOX?

? ALSO DO BOTH WARM AND SOFT WHITE CFL'S COME IN 42 WATT BULBS?

? AND FINAL QUESTION IS CAN YOU GET GOOD QUALITY BUD USING CFL'S(I WOULD BE USING SIX SOFT WHITE 2700K) DURING FLOWERING?

first off, i think 6 is a little overkill, now when they start budding, you are gonna want to get a timer, and set it to exactly 12/12, if youre growroom is set up correctly, and you have something lining it for good reflection, one or two lights should be fine



may there always be a nug in your bowl

6 CFLs for 2 plants is good, the buds you get should be pretty decent
SO, CAN I GET SOME GOOD QUALITY BUD IF I USE 6 CFL'S FOR FLOWERING?

ALSO, I'M NOT WASTING MY MONEY BY USING SO MANY LIGHTS AM I? BECAUSE I KEEP HEARING PEOPLE SAY THAT "THE MORE LIGHT THE BETTER" AND THAT YOU WILL GET BETTER YEILD AND QUALITY WITH MORE LIGHT.

im not sure with flowering i would ask someone who has more experince with full grows with CFLs, but no your not wasting money if you think about it your really only using the energy to power 3 light bulbs because they use half the watts as a normal house light. and also the more lights you do get the better it will be
