how many lights for 6 plants?

hey, i have 6 female plants and i want to know how many cfls i will need to grow them all. and how much will it cost around? they arent very big because there using bad lights right now but i want to upgrade to the right amount of light. so how many watts or cfls i will need? and how much will this cost?

first get rid of the tin foil,
as for as lights go that i have learned off here is that all depends what kind of yeild you want ,

You need to get that tinfoil outta there get some bigger pots, if you are intent on using cfls yo should probley get two of those envirolite you can get them on ebay for about 20euro each!

if you dont have much money just go to walmart and get 6 or 8 of the 42watters, or look around for a bigger cfl online

Foil can burn your plants. Mylar or flat white are the best options. Also, best answer regarding number of CFLs.. as many as possible. 2700s for flowering.. 5500+ for veg.

I suggest just getting a shoplight with 2 four foot bulbs, either 32 watt or 40 watt bulbs and you will get better results than using cfl. It wouldn't hurt to get 2 lights for a total of 4 bulbs. You will save money you can put towards an HPS for flowering, plus get better results. CFL's are just too focused for more than one or two plants, or have very limited space for lights. CFL seems to be the new thing so everyone is jumping on the band wagon. I've done both and can tell you that the bigger bulbs give better results.

Otherwise you should be looking at at least 2 42 watt cfl's per plant, plus the cost of sockets and wiring. For CFL's I do prefer the 42 watt daylight ones. This is comparing what is available locally, I've never special ordered the bigger ones online.
