I have set up the lighting system I have been reading about to light a 2 square foot area. The 8 inch hanging light with three soket Y's with 30 watt clf's?

I thjought I had an understanding of what I reading lumens, color spec, hope I didn't jump the gun!

I have three sylvnia soft white mini 100+ cfl specs are: 30w 2000 lumens color temp is 3000k
4th light is a sylania daylight extra cfl Specs: 30w, 1845 lumens, 3500k light temp. The reason for this "4th" lights being dif. simple they only had 3 of the others.

Now all of these lights are plugged into the hanging socket set up. Is this the right color spec, lumens, also if they are all on like that will it meet the required lighting?

I'm a fucking noob to growing, not a noob to smokin'

6500k's for vegging
Your 3000k's should work for flowering.

Yup! Those will work well for veg. They seem a bit high in price though.?. Do you have a Wal-Mart close by---or better yet a Home Depot? You can get em cheaper at either one of these, and not have to pay shipping on top of it all. Now, I'm only talking about 26 watt to 42 watt bulbs. The stores above don't have the big boy cfl's, just the little ones.

Read some grow logs and sticky's on here. You'll get all your beginning questions answered faster that way than waiting for a response!
Good Luck!
