hey ppl ive recently started my first grow im 1 week into it "2 whitewidow"https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/247748-2-whitewidow-first-grow-d-3.html
but useing a 250w hps is burning the seedlings so ive bought a
125w cfl eco-light 6400k "says on the bulb" will this be enough for 2 widows through the veg stage.
ive read a lot of posts and i hear its not the true wattage or whatever.
anyone else use this?

Depends how long, as I'm sure you can guess. If it's veggin for a short time so they can still fit under a 250 HPS I suspect 125w of cfl will do just fine.

You gonna use it along side the HPS during flower, get some dual spectrum lighting?
