ForgetClassC Reviewed by ForgetClassC on . CFL light question: Veg process is higher then 23w necessary? Hi guys, first time to post...but have been reading through threads for past few weeks. Just have one question, which may have been answered before, but I just can't find the answer. Okay I have 11 open sockets for a small cabinet grow (30"x20"x48"). All I can find are 23/26watt 6500k CFLs for the veg process. I easily found the 42watt 2700k for flowering. So my question: is it necessary to have higher wattage bulbs if I can just surround the plant with lower 23w bulbs? I guess my Rating: 5
