I plan on using (2) 125watt 6500k CF bulbs in hydrofarm reflectors, then switch to (2) 125watt 2700k CF bulbs when budding starts.

from what i've seen on other posts, this should be sufficient for a decent yield on a first grow atempt. Any Comments/advice would be awesome!

First link is the lighting/reflector setup, the second is power grower pots

Hydrofarm - Hydrofarm FLCOUN Compact Fluorescent Grow Light Fixture (No Bulb)
Hydrofarm - General Hydroponics GH4830 Power Grower Eco Complete
somehow, i misunderstood this post and thought you were planning to buy that stuff. i didn't realize you were describing stuff you'd already bought.

if i had i'd have advised you to add a couple of clamp lights to the ones you already have. adding maybe 60watts or so of 2700K during veg and 80watts of 6500K during flowering as the plants need both spectra throughout their lives, just in different proportions depending on which stage of life they are in.

another thing you might want to investigate is how to do a SCROG, i've seen pics of some impressive yeilds from just 2 plants.

anyway, it appears you've done a fair amount of thinking and research on this which makes it a pleasure to offer my 2 cents
lol, you'll still need at least $2.00 to get a cup of coffee.

i look forward to watching as you grow your first crop and wish you much success.
