I would just get all 42w soft whites. For a cfl grow, the soft whites will veg as much as you need, and they're what you want for flowering anyway. I'd suggest at least 4 lights per plant. But remember, if you're growing multiple plants, you can position one light to "enlighten" more than one plant at a time . . .
4 x 26w will output 1600-1700 lumens/bulb. 4 x 42w gives you about 2700/bulb.
I've never used 6500k for flowering, but 2700k works for both.
I have that book too. If you keep it simple and follow what Seemorebuds says, you're going to be very, very happy (as long as your plant is a female).Thanks for all of the insight =]
So I will need 4-6 soft white 42 watt bulbs for one plant?
I've bought the book "Buds for Less", and I'm going to just follow that lighting setup once I get all of the materials I need to construct the lighting device
= feminized seeds, don't waist your time otherwise unless you have alot of light, time and room.I have that book too. If you keep it simple and follow what Seemorebuds says, you're going to be very, very happy (as long as your plant is a female).
I meant 8x 23 watt...8x 42 watt cfl's will be enough for ONE plant. I had 6 42 watt cfls and had to "successful" grows. I had about a half once on the first plant. And about 3/4 of an ounce of the second.( only did 2). The bud was descent. also u must place lights hella close, like 1/8 of an inch, but dont let the leaves touch the bulbs.
