You are using one bulb for each plant?

I thought that flourescent lights were needed in the vegetative stage - if you don't use metal halite...

It seems i have a lot to learn :(

Are the bulbs being used here CFL globes? - only one bulb per plant? - i have just read that CFL lights use 50-80% less energy than 100watt flouro lights, but is this still feesable when you consider you can grow more plants under the old 48inch flouro globes??
