here's the strain readup that I ordered

Heavy Duty Fruity

Sativa/Indica 60/40..sleepy couchlock munchies high. it's taste is deep fruit with a nutty edge.
Indoors 50-60 days outdoors mid to end of October.
great for commercial growing as you get over 1 gram per watt
This is fantastic plant. Everyone loves this strain.

Heavy Duty Fruity has a major kick, whether your growing just for yield, flavor or stoniness. a nearly even mix of Sativa/indica. This plant derives it's heritage from the U.S. West Coast Marijuana Belt. Mixing strains from the Northern California's sweet spots with a daddy from the more temperate and Wet Pacific Northwest. It can be grown indoors or out, but is recommended for the indoor hydroponics gardener. This heavyweight has a strong fruity dankness. It will fill the grow room and surrounding areas if not controlled. The buds reach monstrous sizes.
Excellent yields can also be expected from outdoor plants, which will be ready in the last half of October.
This strain is great as a multi-topped plant, with many sites for its dense buds, the leaves are not always classic 7 pointers, they're often thick and gnarly, and some eventually change color from green to purple. Pungent fruit odor penetrates the air. The stone is dependent on harvesting at the earliest phase of ripeness, usually 50 days.

​

Plant height: Med
THC level %: Very High
Flowering times: 50-60 days
Yield: +1 gram per watt
Grows: indoors, Outdoors, great topped
Strain Genetics: Sativa/Indica 60/40
Grow Difficulty: Easy
Plant Odor: Fruity, Strong
Smoke Flavor: Fruity, sleepy couchlock munchies high

seems like you've done your homework!!! that's good... it'll save you from a lot of unnecessary trouble!
Don't worry you'll get great results even with cfls. How many plants are you thinking about?
Even if it's only one, you might want to think adding more lights on the way. I've just harvested my plant, grown only with cfls... if you're interested in the results, follow the link in my signature.
i'll be following....
cheers!

oh, i forgot, about the lights... it also depends on how long you want to veg for!!!
you don't wanna let the plant grow too much before switching to 12/12. Cfls's weak point is light penetration.

I plant on having a small roughly 18 plant SOG and the rest veging plants , I might change the CFL I'll be using for veg with Flors because the longer coverage and it will let me use more lights in flowering and even if they are to big I'll do the flower , harvest , veg the rest , flower and so on to get more then 1 harvest out of 1 plant

I have no idea , if they get my money order postdated/postmarked before the 21st of this month they say that the'll send an extra 20 seeds for free , once I get my perm veg area set up I'll be using milar or some thing very close to it that I can find

wait, something's not right here. For my one plant i used: 2 55W (275W equivalent each) 6000K, 2 65W (335W equivalent each) 2700K, and added 3 25W (120W equivalent) 2700K after 2 or 3 weeks into flowering.
you can't expect growing 18 plants or so, with less light than what i used for just a single plant!!!!!!

this can't happen!! marijuana is an annual plant. Seed cracks --> seedling --> vegging --> flowering --> harvest --> death

its not always ahout how good the light is , I've growen bigger house plants using CFLs compared to the natural sun light and I've had 1 light for it but with my CFLs I plan on having them not all at the same level (ie some be above the plants and have some hanging about half way down the plant to get light to the lower parts

that's if you harvest the hole plant , if you harvest it and it still has fan leafs and thoes hairs are supose to start to turn into new growth. I don't know how true that is but I know a few people that say the same thing but that's where I plan on having mom and dad plants to take clones off of. a small area to create seeds and mix strains and across the other area will be my other stuff and I know that there can be no moving air in the small area because the polin can and will turn and flowering plant to produce seeds

Update
No e-mail and no seeds so far. I've been working on my closet area. Filling in any thumb tack holes and what nots to give it a look that it was done right. I plan on buying some lumber so that I can build my grow box , I might use plexy glass for the front doors to use as a window. I am still in the process of doing up the bule prints for my build.
