you don't need alot inorder to grow with , friend had 5 1 foot tall plants under 1 10w CFL , and you can have the CFL closer to the plants with out burning them, and you usaly want more watts for flowering
I just bought light sockets , beretts and packing tape to make sure the beretts don't come off and old power cords from DVD players

they want fast growth and high yields that's all, if you do SOG CFL grow you could proibly get more out of that grow then using a grow light but that's if you have the perfect setup for CFL
I have a grow journal , haven't taken pics of my setup yet but will do that in the next few days

icic and what are beretts?
its what people use to tie a positive wire to a positive wire , its kinda like a screw but for witers
yes , but also you can't forget that you have to use fans for cooling down the grow area

ok so this is my plan
i want two power strips.
im going to get about 500watts worth of CFL bulbs. have them all going at a 18-6 cycle until flower time. (they should all go into flower around same time seeing tht its all planted same day and same seed strain.)
I will have them hanging from two power strips being able to raise and lower. and probably 1 fan.
does that sound like it will grow my plant and flower it? and make me happy in the end?

ok
1 - you need 6,500k for veg
2 - you need 2,700k for flowering
3 - need flat white walls
4 - prob want 2 fans maybe 3 if you want to have 1 for blowing on the plants and 1 for the exhaust and the 3rd one is just incase you need it for exhaust
5 - don't have all the lights hooked up at once because that might be to much for the plants at the start

ok yes i know red spectrm and blue spectrum lights wich is the 2,700k and the 6,500 k
i understand tht and i have the white walls and i have 2 fans already and its in a 3,4,10 foot room, and ok i will alter them so they arent allll on at same time.
but other then that i should be GOOOOODDD TO GO???

yea for flowering if you can load up on 42w CFLs for the plants and manipulate the branches so that all the budding sites get the light you'll get a better harvest
