Pics will follow as soon as I Learn how...I'm 6 days into the veg cycle using two 23 watt (6500K) CFL's...Miracle-Gro seed starter with a generous helping of perlite..watering with Distilled water every few days or so.

I veg my plants under 207 watts cfl, so for flowering, I would at least try to get 250-300w cfl if you want decent bud IMO. You know your space better than I know it, so, just put as much light in there that you feel comfortable with. The more light, the better and probably more bud you will get. The grows I've done that were strictly cfl were done under 350w.

What bulbs do you use to get your 207 watts for veg? What your setup for flowering?

your talking actual watts not equivalent right?

Yes, I am talking actual watts. I flower under 600w hps, BUT, when I flowered under cfl I used the warm spectrum cfls. When you veg you use a daylight (blue) spectrum. I have a 125w cfl grow light, a 60w daylight cfl, and a 23w warm cfl (because I like just a hint of that spectrum on my veg). So actually, I run 208w lol.

How many watts of CFL do you plan to use? Just seeing what your plans are! Good luck on your first indoor

I'm using 92 actual Watts for veg and using 220 actual Watts for flowering...only planning on 18" plant at max due time constraints . I know this won't provide much of a yield but just trying to see if I can complete a indoor grow ;-)
