I suggest next time using a bulb from FarmTek DOT com and using their 125watt compact fluoro that costs around 36 bucks a bulb.

It has a "medium" styled base (incandescent) so you can screw in to a regular socket and eliminate the need for a mogul socket and cord setup.

This isn't a plug for them it's a suggestion because of the kelvin temp of the bulb (6500K) and the lumen you get from 2 can veg 10 small 6 inch pots for a couple weeks preparing for the MH lumen to come.

I used a space 3L x 2w x 3h and found that 4 of the 125w bulbs were excellent as long as the heat is ventilated.
Organic Rasta Reviewed by Organic Rasta on . Experienced CFL growers Will someone with good knowledge of CFL's help me with a plan I want to set up. I want to have 7 plants in veg. under CFL's until they are ready to be put under MH for flowering. My question is: How many CFL's do I need for adaquate lighting for these 7 plants and how many watts each? The space is 3x2ft. Thanks-you! Rating: 5
