This Is My first indoor grow and I just started 12-12 Today. (7th - 8 th week )

Does:
86W CFLx2 2700k ( -T5 23Wx2 4100K- T12 25Wx2 5100k
Seem adequate? total lumen is 14000 or so 8200 of which being 2700k

Also I have Schultz plant food drops with micro nutrients NPK 10-15-10 for the flowering cycle I used a higher N nute for vegging. less PK.

All in a coco coir medium with a little normal soil and perlite mixed in.

Does this seem OK. for 1st week of flowering ?

i would imagine more experienced growers would ask you, how many plants are you trying to grow, how large of an area are you trying to light, and they will probably want to see pics of the set up. they may also tell you the 4100K & 5100K T5's and T12's are not a very usable light spectrum for growing... 6500K and 3000K or 2700K are much better light spectrums to be using!

dude your description of your lights is weird... thats why nobody is replying. are you saying you have 2 t5 tubes and 2 t12 tubes? and then also 2 86w cfls? its just a plant. weed is easy to grow. if you dont think thats enough light for them, then add more. if you cant add more, why bother asking? and lumens dont add. each light source puts out a certain number of lumens, but if you have 2 lights that put out 5000 lumens each, you still only have 5000 lumens, not 10000. its just spread over an area of 2 lights rather than one.
