Hi all thanks for stopping in! I am starting my first FULL cfl grow with 3 easy ryders and am wondering what bulbs i should use per plant. Right now i plan on using 2 bulbs per plant:

one - 85 Watt 5000k cfl
one - 55 Watt 2700K cfl

would that pair of lights be enough for one auto plant till harvest or should i be more concerned with giving them the proper light spectrum and switch the bulbs from veg to flower?

they will flower under any lights, but you need to hit them with more than that, cfls are not very strong in comparison to Mh or Hps, like i said they will flower but your harvest will be left wanting....
good luck , i use this just for clones and freshly potted clones hope this helps ....

That setup sounds good during veg, however I would add 3 additional 55 watt 2700k bulbs for flowering. The plants should have a greater amount of warm color temperature (2700k) rather than cool (5000k) during flowering
