light problems

whats the best amount of lummens per square foot???

10,000 p/sqft, it what the sun puts out p/sqft. But 5000 will do just fine...of course the more light, the better your plants.

Ok so I'm new here an I figured this would be a good place to post my question about my light problem so here it gos I've had my plant for give or take 12 days an it already has 7 to 8 leaves now I've gotten it this far just by sittin it by the window in the morning an puttin bak in the dark at night now I wanna start treatin the plant with a lamp cause its becoming to dangerious to leave out in the window were it can be seen so ya time to advance but right now my bugets tight an I'm j/w what's the cheapest possible way an I mean cheap that I can do this just 4 about a month PLEASE ANYTHING

J/W?....anyways for just 1 plant a few cfl's at 6500K will do just fine in a closet.

I am using those cfl's for veg. How do you think they will work for flowering?

It all depends on how many you have. i would say at least 5 per plant of the 42W cfl's, and you would get some decent bud. Many people here have used them with great results.
