Wat up fellow growers...I have a quick question, I decided to go with CFLs for Veg instead of MH, and was wondering if this setup sounds OK for CFLs, and which bulbs exactly I should use? I have a 2x2x4.5ft Cabinet with Kilz Matte White Paint, one 4" Extraction fan, and I will be growing some custom bred Wizards Breath(Great White x White Widow) in soil. Now here are the bulbs I have:
four 25w=100w Daylight 6500K Spiral CFLs - 6600 Lumens
one 30w=125w Soft White Spiral CFL - 2060 Lumens

should I use just the four Daylights, or three daylights and the one soft white? Or i have a Y-Splitter should I use all 5???

i would use like 8 of the 6500k for every 1 plant in veg and like and like 10 of the 2500k for flower of every one 1 plant. it may sound like alot but it will give you way better results i went with like 4 or 5 cfls one time and it they didnt cut it so i doubled it and it worked way better.

well i have it running with 4xDaylight and the 1xSoft White running and the ones underneath where the two specturms mix are growing outrageously faster than the ones just under the daylight spectrum...is this right? everything i read from UK420 and the Cervantes Indoor Grow guide say under the daylight spectrum will grow faster and fuller plants than under the lower spectrums...but will any light pretty much help im guessing???
