hey bro cool setup for a first grow but your gonna need a lot more light. I think the general rule of thumb if you are using cfls is you want 100 actual CFL watts not what the CFL's are equivalent too. so just go to the store and pic up a pack of the 26w 6500k bulbs and you should be good

thanks for the heads up guys! I'll be lookin for those 20/25w lights. I also have 2 24' T5 Light Holders we use for our black lights. Originally I was going to grab a 6500k 24' T5 but i can't seem to find them anywhere, if I do expect to see some coming changes!

alright so I went to the store, got 2 23w (100w eq) hooked em up into my splitter, keeping the 13w 6500k going just for a lil extra, then swapping it out to one of the 23w when I throw my flowering bulbs in the splitter. But there's lots of time before that!

Cant recommend nutes. What works for me works for me. As for size same thing. I COULD make it work. Idk seeds look good though
