Growing With two 27 watt daylight cfls and two 20 watt soft white cfls on two plants, the plants i using these lights on are growing in miracle grow seed starter,

I planted them on march 4th, they are about a inch high today,

I was just wondering if this was enough lights for two plants, or should i only try one plant, this is my first grow. Please Help with advise

teeny tiny buds. u COULD get alot of them if trained right but will take forever to flower.


get a fan to blow on those CFLs cuz with such low light u need them to be touching the tops

6500k (or similar) is normally used for the vegetative cycle. 2700k (or similar) is normally used for flowering. Some people prefer to use a mixture of both lights for the entire life of the plant(s). You should try and have at minimum a 3000 lumen per square foot ratio. Lumen output varies by wattage and manufacturer. You will need to have the lights as close as possible without burning the plant(s).

Pictures of my first indoor.(I didn't need that many lights, but it turned out very well.)

each one of the 27 watt bulbs has 5000k is that enough

I would assume that your 27 watt 5000k bulbs are putting out approximately 1700 lumens each(as I said before it will still vary depending on manufacturer, usually 1600-1800 lumens for that size bulb). So with appx. 3400 lumens(both bulbs) you will be just over the minimum light needed for a 1ftX1ft area. I would suggest using a reflective material(flat white paint, white plastic, mylar etc.) in the grow area to maximize the light given to the plant.
