Does this sound Ok?

[KenoSmoker]

Ok. So I got a few plants going now and I just need to know if this sounds OK for a setup. I got 2 75w bulbs in a 3.5x2ft area with 6 ft. above. I covered the walls with the dull side of tin foil and I got a fan going in there. If anyone could give me some advice or anything it would be appreciated. And sorry I cant get a pic.

75w bulbs?

What type of bulbs are they?

[KenoSmoker]

I got 2 75w that my friend just said are "plant lights" so I went to the store and bought 3 23w cfl's. I know im gonna need to get more but these should be OK for veg right?

[Zandor]

a few plants I guess 4' - 40w cool white's would work ok but the CFL are the ones everyone who uses them to veg are using. Check for threads by BobBong or Harddon they both use CFL start to finish and would be helpful to you.

NNNNOOOO!!!! you're supposed to use WAY brighter lights, and blue if you can find them. Blue light produces a thicker stalk so you dont have to tie it up.
The standard lighting is a 430w bulb with a batwing stand.
But anything works.

Read the question first dude before you chime in with your 2¢ he said all he has was 75w fluorescent light. Not everyone has the money to buy HPS light. Lots of people have used fluorescent light to grow just fine.

Not what I use to veg or flower with but to each his own.

You did not say MH or HPS light either so you just added to the confusion.

Who say's you need to tie up any plant?

You only tie up the plant if you have height space issues or security issues.

Or if you don't have enough light to provide the plant with the proper amount to grow to full potential and only light from the top down.
