Hey Rasta, hello again...

I have the box of the CFLs, and they read:
ENERGY USED: 42 watts
LIGHT OUTPUT: 2700 lumens
BULB LIFE: 10,000 hours
APPLICATION: growing Cannabis strains

I see that you suggest having 8000 lumens per plant... Ok, so with three of these bulbs I would be getting 8100 lumens... BUT! And here's the but, I plan of using these plants as mothers... NOT as my main grow.

Once they're bigger, I'd like to take clones, and give the clones 12/12 to determine sex. For the actual female clones I'm going to use in my hydro NFT LST SCRoG (cool when I write all that, seems so "wow") I'll be using a 600W HPS + a 400W MH.

Do you think I still should buy more bulbs?

Thanks for the input
