Hey everyone this is my first grow and I had a couple of questions. I only have one plant and was told the seed was strawberry kush but that's just hearsay! Anyway I have 2-4ft cool white flourescents, 2-4ft warm white and a 300 watt warm white cfl. 40 watts each producing 3000 lumens each. My plant is 3 weeks old and looks very healthy ph 6.2-6.8 in soil. Now when I go into flowering with 12-12 in a couple weeks can I just switch out the cool whites with warm whites or will I need more lights? Also will I get a decent yield and good quality?? I am on a tight budget and can't afford Hps right now. Any advice or opinions will be greatly appreciated!!

Download or get your hands on a book called; "Buds For Less" by SeeMoreBuds. It's all about producing an oz of bud for under $100 growing from seed. This might help you along with setting up a great cheap grow with the tools you are already working with.

I've had great success with Shultz Take Root Rooting Hormone
Here's my first grow that produced 5.4 oz on about $100. https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/165396-first-cfl-grow-help-appreciated.html

Tube lights are bunk for flowering, just go with 4 large CFL warm whites for flowering. By large I mean at least 42w per bulb, 68w if you can get your hands on em. I have 3 plants with this lighting setup (all 2700k light temp): 3 68w, 5 42w, 1 26w. More than enough light if you position your bulbs correctly. I'm personally using clamp lamps with extra large reflectors attached so my plants receive the most lumens possible per light. My buds look extremely dense and are pretty frosty, so if done right CFL's can produce buds worth a damn.
