And one green brand presidents choice warm white CFL13 watt 2500k let me know if you think this is enough light for 1 plant to bud and any better alternatives you might know of also if you know of any U- Shaped flourescent tubes i can use that would help to.:neutral:

The best cfls for flowering is a warm one, one that would shine yellow. but man a 13watt clf is small, at least go with a 42 watt minimum

the best thing to do if you want super dinnse buds is get eather a 400w or anything around that cause you can flower with the lights you have now but there two weak your going to get really airy buds and lets face it no one wants little airy buds . cause with that light your only going to give the top of the plant light not any of the lower stuff .
