Ok, I spent the last few hours trying to get a precise answer and I failed. Theoretically, if one was to grow 3 plants what is the best way to go if one wants to go cfl?

If one already had one 42w (equiv to 150w) soft white bulb (2700k - 3000k temp) and didnt want to 'waste' it what would one need to add in addition for optimal growth? I know there are higher color temp cfl so I'm not sure what would be ideal?

Also, at different stages would one need to alter the set-up of cfs bulbs (use certain color temps at various stages)?


I'm sorry for asking a question that has probably been asked 1000 times before but if anyone could give me some specifics I would appreciate it... And I know cfl arent the best way to go but that point is mute
