I grow them to 1', I belive that there root structure is at the min. for throwing them into flower @ that point..I am relatively new to the SOG system, but that would be as soon as I would change them over....

I have been doing a cfl grow for a while now and it seems to be working great. this is my first grow, im very excite! i have 8 26w cfl 6500k day light blue for veg and 8 energy saver red spec for flower. i then bought 4 extension cords at the dollar store, 4 light socket splitters, and some cheap sockets to use on the end of the extension cords. the whole set up cost about 120 total with fans and odds and ends. you can start cheaper, and then just buy the red spectrum lights when its time to flower.

height does not matter. My Blueberrys only vegged for 5 weeks. I have these girls on their 10 node and they are all less than 10". They have all started budding and should yeild some good buds. If you keep your fluero, you will still get buds but I recommend investing in an HPS light.

Could someone post a pic of the two different cfl lights?

I can find the warm white ones with 2700 lumens but I can't find the one's for veg.

When you say 6500 lumens are you adding the lumens of the bulbs together or is there a cfl bulb that puts out 6500 lumens?

no they are not adding them together. 6500k is a blue spectrum cfl and 2500 is a red spectrum bulb. for veg you want the blue spectrum 6500 bulbs and for flower you want the red spectrum 2500 bulbs. if you cant find 6500k blue spectrum cfls then you could get tube flouros they are really cheap too and just the same.
