Glad to hear they're doing better. Looking forward to the pix. :thumbsup:

If you can pull it off, a nice 400w HPS would be great. But barring that, the orangish lighted soft whites (SD on the Walmart Bulbs) for flower.

Some folks think any lumen is a good lumen, but with CFL's I stick to one end of the spectrum or the other.

Different animal and subject altogether, but some growers use a full spectrum HPS throughout the grow.

Experts used to say 3 times the lumens from veg to flower (for example: 12,000 lumens in veg, minimum 36,000 lumens in flower) I havent kept-up on new lighting stuff as my old stuff is still working, but I imagine it's the same basic ratio. Safety and heat being your main concerns with packing-a circuit full of lights.

A couple problems Ok. i added a picture (its A LOT brighter than that in there i promise). the plant on the right is growing fine, no problems. however, the two to the left seem to have stunted growth, and definitely have some curly, not very sexy looking leaves. the one furthest left also has some yellow/brown cripsy edges. this is the only plant with this problem. so what can i do? I have 5 plants under three 27watt (100 watt equivalent) daylight cfl's. it sorta looks like overwatering, minus the crispiness of Rating: 5
