hey man i use 26watt 6500k for veg and 42watt 2700k for flower ,i would use 42 watt all across the board but i cant find 6500k in 42watt. 42 watters give you more lumens per watt giving you more light for less money.the kelvin thing is important , 6500k is like the same color temp as a mh and the 2700k is like the same as hps. when you are looking at the cfls in the store the watts that matter are the ones the bulb really uses not the watts it is equal to.hope that helps

If you've already got the HPS, just use it to veg too, it will do a better job for you than only a couple CFL's will.:peace:

I use 1 23W bright white CFL for vegging and 1 23W soft white for veg. I am limited on space so of course you can add more. My plants grow just fine.

as far as cfl's go ive seen people grow very nice plants with 1, 23 watte cfl...lol me personally I use a 75 watt, 3 of them inside of a pc case...works fine...you need to look at the lumens for the bulbs not nessec. watts. go do some research on lumens in lights for weed
