Need some Help please, lights and such...

hi i have a lil set up going right now its actually two record crates lined with aluminum foil ontop of each other u kno with the open sides to eachother to make a bigger cavity for the plants anyways i have that with 2 pots in it and a 42w CFL thatputs out 150 my question is, is this enough for vegging? should i go get another 42 watter? they have been vegging for 11 days like this on 18/6 do u think i should get another bulb of a differ watt or the same and what type of size do i want for flowering
any responses are greatly apreciated thanks guys and yes this is my first attempt and have been trying to find all my answers before posting

wow guys thanks for all the quik responses lol but w/e i got another 42 watt cfl -EZ-

get at least one more 6500k cfl for veg. that is the bare minimum...i wont bother criticizing your grow your not worth my time....spring for three for better results be real fucking patient and add 2or3 3000k bulbs for flower.

I would get 2 more and try to see if u can get them in the the cool blue spectrum 26w=100 made by ge and the lumen specs are 6500k great for ur vegging when u switch to flowering get some warm lighted cfls like the ones u have now.....warm for flowering and cool for vegging and u might want to get rid of ur aluminium foil as it will fry ur plants not a good reflecter if u can get some Mylar or paint ur grow room white....just my 2 cents peace......:hippy:

By record crates do you mean something like a milk crate, which would mean your working with about 2 feet in height. If so thats way to small IMO.

ok what i dont get is ppl say 5000k or 6500k what is this? is that lumens count? where does this say this if its not that...

its the temp of the cfl bulb. They will be different colors when you turn them on......one is a blueish color and the other is a yellow/orageish color

blue is best for vegging, and yellow is best for flowering
I however have not noticed a difference in the two when growing:twocents:
