Well Reverse,

I think your plan will need some modifactions. First of all no light every made will out do the sun. If you want to start them off under CFLs fine but I don't think you are working with the right type of bulb. I have never used CFLs but I think that there are ones more suitable for plants at the hardware store.

So your thinking, I dont use CFLs then what do I know? Well, I start them under a 400hps then move to 1400hps for flowering which works for me. Should you go with 18/6 for start to finish. No.

There you have it something to start you off with but you'll have to keep reading to master the game. But what do I know.
