Question About CFL's

CFL's are the little spiral lightbulbs correct? If so then I was wondering how many I would need for growing 1 or 2 plants in every stage from seedling to flowering? That is I mean to say how many of the 40 watt CFL's would I need?

Sorry for bumping this but it is kind of urgent as the seeds are nearly done germinating and I need to plant them soon.

SWIM is using 6 43watt cfls to grow his plants. i dunno if that is sufficent amount of light or not, but needless to say that it is working for SWIM.

K i seriously need to know and the lights are actually 13 watt, 40 watt replacements. This is just for a limited time until i pick up stronger bulbs. But until then I have a basically unlimited supply of these 13 watt ones. How many do I need for 1 or 2 plants

The 13 watters you might need more than 3 or 4.....

Once they get big you'll definitely need more. I'm starting with 4 27w cfls and plan to buy more

The less watts, the more bulbs you're going to have to buy to keep up with your growth if you want a nice yield and product

Hmm well rather then buy a whole bunch of low wattage CFL's I'm probably going to be looking for a large one like 150 - 200 watts
