VEG -- Low watts

For two plants, will 6 23 CFL's be efficient.

5500k

yeah that would be good..but me i honestly, i just use one warm and one cool white fluorescent and put it within one inch of the plant for the veg..im just sayin but thats would i would do...good luck on the grow..

Thank you

So you would only suggest Two lights per plant during veg, 1 warm and 1 cool?

sorry im a bit confused.

No. It will be sufficient, but not efficient. It will work, but you'll get a lot more bud if you use more bulbs and higher wattages. Also, if you're gonna use the same bulbs throughout the grow, you should get ones that are less than 3000k.

I actually planned on just using these for veg, I was told you could veg with pretty much anything but for flowering you want to bump up the ammount of lights/wattage, which I plan to do.

So for veg, will that work fine? 6 23w

I agree with what I have seen... The plant can actually be taken through its entire life cycle with just one 23w CFL but you will have and extremely pathetic looking plant with maybe a 1/2 - 5 gram yield per plant. The more lights you use, the better your plants will look and yield. If you have a seedling that has only a few leaves on it, I think it would be a waste of light to have any more than 2 or 3 on a plant that small, but the more you can reasonably fit without burning your plant, the better you will be. Make your grow as big and high-powered as you want.

i perfer to veg with MH. those cfl's will work.
