well i read somewhere that you could easily grow one plant with 2 40watt CFLs. im not very experienced but from what ive learned on this site i think you would be able to grow 3 plants with 5 40watt CFLs but the more light you have the bigger your yeild will be.

but as for the right lights you should be fine with CFLs you just need to decide how many or how much money you want to spend:jointsmile:
