Aight so this is my second grow(first didn't end up well, but now Im trying using CFL's and this is my setup. I am using (4) 42watt 2700k light bulbs, (2) 26watt, 2700k lightbulbs and (1) 20watt long tubular light! Here is picture of waht it looks like; notice it only showes (2) 42watters and (1) 26watter becasue I didn't wanna put the other clamp light together but its the same as the one shown!!







Let me know what you think and if you think this will work for growing 2 or 3 plants in my closet?????!!!!!

Thanks to all the answer givers :mrgreen:;]

I mean it will work but with 2700K lights those are mainly for Budding/Flowering Not for overall growth. the 6500K are idealy for growing if you had 2 45 watt and like 4 other 23 watt 6500K bulbs for 4 weeks than added all those 2700 you would be able to produce almost 2-3 more oz off from your plants. regaurdless with 2700K lights your gonna have to do 12 hours on than 12 off from seed

Spectum is reversed.
2700K is most def for flowering.
Go with 6500K for veg on an 18/6 then when you want to flower go to 2700K on a 12/12.
Just an fyi.

are you sure those 3 lights in the pics are 2700k? they look like 6500k to me. but maybe its just the camera. fix the lighting spectrum and you will want more CFLs in there eventually. just having 4 lights in there doesn't mean you will be growing like everyone else. I have been growing my plant with 5 CFL and 1 flouro- it has been 6 weeks and im still in veg. im going to be getting a metal halide soon. you definately should too if you can.
