So i am starting my first indoor grow ever, the picture shown is my plant (mid seed) for now. It was grown on a little 13 cfl(lol) for a month until i got payed. Now i have two 65 watts cfl's a 40 watt and a 20 watt two foot repti bulb. Seven more just germinated (Really good Dro seeds) and now are looking good :weed: I wanna grow about seven plants at a time, how many more Cfl's should i buy for a decent yeild? and which ones? Help would be greatly appreciated.
:joint: Thanks

This pciture was from about 2 weeks ago and is looking lovely now. The main stem doubled in size at least and the leaves are getting nice and crispy looking. Any help would be appreciated.

7 plants would take A LOT of cfls. if you're going to use cfls all the way through you're going to want some 2700k(warm) and the daylight 5500k(cool/daylight) CFLS. By the way, you should lower those to about 3-4 inches above the plants, make sure you have some sort of fan on them... oscilating or box fan. You could pick up a cheap 150-250w HPS on ebay and flower about 5 of them with it. If you want to run enough cfls for 7 plants then you're going to be running more electricity through CFLs than you would a HPS system.

get some new pictures

Thanks alot. You actually can't tell but the two cfl bulbs are really big and are 2 inches away from the plant, the other one is a smaller 40 watt cfl. Can i find an 150-200w HPS in a local store? Home Depot?

possibly , but it will be WAY overpriced... the cheapest you can get is either at HTG supply (google it) or ebay. Trust me on that one :P
