I have a question about cfs

I posted a thread asking about cfls,but i'm still not sure what kind i should use...I want to grow 6 plants,at least 2/1/2 ft tall..so i want to know..how many lumens/watts, do i need for each plant...what type of cfl,cool white,warm white,and in what stages do i use them,or should i use dual spectrum for both stages...I did some research on the web,but still not sure.....And is it ture that some types of cfls,make your buds airy....Sorry for the long post..Thanx alot 1luv

Check out the stickies in the CFL Forum.

If you are wanting to grow 6 plants you really need a HID lighting system. I'm not saying you can't grow them with cfls, but I am saying that if you do, you will be disappointed with the results. I'd really do my research on cfls before you start.
