It was my first indoor, but i had read a bunch beforehand. What i found while i had a grow in the make was that mixing spectrum's seemed to make my plant grow better. I started with just one 26w cfl to veg my seedlings, then added as i needed. I found that mixing 26w, which said 1750 was lumen and 23w, which said hell i forget, sorry. but they were 27k and the 26w was like 35k. But under lighting section a sticky said that you can count lumen's by 69.9 lumen's per watt. This is what i went by and i ran 278w of cfl's. Good enough for 4-5 plants IMO. I have not completely harvested, but im very happy with the grow. The log is in this section, it went through some shit, but in all im pumped, check it out, it will help ya with a set up idea. Also, a mix spectrum i believe is best. Even if i had an hps id throw in a few cfl's to cover lower portion of the plant.

Good luck:rasta:
