Okay, so im planning on growing 3 lowryders. i already have my box ready i just need to find what lighting i should use.

I was thinking something like this: Discount CFL Compact Fluorescent Grow Lights for Plants from ACF Greenhouses (The 1st one on the page) should i get the 5000k or 2700k? im not quite sure because lowryder pretty much skips veg stage and goes straight to flowering. So should i get the 2700k becuase it has more red spectrum? or should i get the 5000k which is good all around.

Also is this one light good enough for 3 plants? The plants are dwarfs and dont grow to be that big.

Also what nutes should i use for this plant? Thanks

well i dunno where you live but im in canada and I just went to canadian tire the other day and bought myself some 40w cfls. soft white and cool white. they're 10.99 each for the bulbs. for your 3 lowriders i'd get 2 soft white and one cool. but for 3 plants i dont think that one thing you were planning on getting is enough.

35 bucks for a 40w bulb and clamp light? Wooo.. You could get the light for like 8 bucks, and for another 6 bucks you could get the clamp light. That 40 watts isnt gonna be enough for one plant let alone 3. Just check out the light bulb section in Home Depot and price some stuff before buying anything that just says "Grow Light" on it.

okay but as far as red spectrum or blue which should i go with? lowryder has a really really really short veg stage almost non existent,
