This plant was in veg for about 2 months. It would have gone faster, but I only used 2700k cfls (42w, 2700 lumin). I started it off with just one of these cfls above and when the plant gained a little height I added 2 more, 1 on each side. I have another plant (not pictured) that I have 6 similar lights around because it should be ready to harvest in about 3 weeks. When I harvest that other plant I will move those lights around the one pictured to increase buddage.-P

For this thread, I thought I'd post some pics I took yesterday of my girlfriend. When I took these pics she had been flowering for 7 days. I love what having a few cfls on the side can do for bushiness.

Different strokes for different folks! I'm erring on the 20/4 side of things on the basis it gives my plants lots of exposure aswell as a dark rest period.

Hello IggidyBiggidy. I love your screen name. If your cfls are 125 true watts and not 125 watt equivalents then yes, that's plenty enough for three small plants. Good luck!

how do know the kilowatts if they dont say it on the lights

It should be on the lights or the package that it came in. Usually it's on both. If not, then look on the light for something that looks like it might be a model number. Then go to google and type in those numbers.
