I Am confused??!!!

I know that i should use 2700 k in flowering stage and 6500 k in seed and vegetarian stage and i also know i should keep the light 2 _ 4 inch above the plants.
but my problem is i don't know how many watt should i use on different stage of growth.i want to grow 8 plants.
the height of my room is 6 feet so i want to grow them big. . .
please tell me how many watt in different stage should i use?

please someone answer me. . .
just tell me is it enough 42 watt 2500 / 2400 lumen cfl for big plant? (2700/6500k)

Easy. You're going to need a shit load for flower. Veg you can get away with 8+ 42w...but expect to AT LEAST double that come flower....

can i use 6+130 watt lamps (5100-5300 lumen) instead of 16+42 watt lamps( 2500 / 2400 lumen) in flowering stage?

I dont see why not, but if you do that you might as well get you a 600w hps to flower with.

I have used the Apollo one before but in a 400w size. I broke a bulb and said to hell with it and been in storage ever since lmao. I forget about it and I have becoe very partial to cfls and fluoro.

From what I understand you can just keep adding more lights, keeping them 1-2 inches away by constantly adjusting. Now the method is up to you. Do you want to let them grow up or out. From reading it cam be easier to manage a cfl grow with a lst or scrog grow as the lights would be the most beneficial from the top with these methods.

As for me, I'm not going to try either for my first grow, but will be adding more lights along he sides as the plants grow.
bought a bunch of these and these to help.
