It seems my lights are good for flowering just not vegging. 2700K. Guess that means I need a light for vegging. What would you recommend? I still plan on using the CFLs for flowering, maybe a 400 Watt HPS light for the vegging stage? To keep it small I plan on only doing 15 or 16 days of vegging and switch to 12/12 lighting.Hi KK, welcome aboard. RE: your lights, be concerned about the Kelvin, or K, not the lumens. I'll put this as succinctly as possible. Lumens and Lux are measurements of light as perceived by the human eye. Plants require P.A.R., photo-synthetically active radiation. This is in the red and blue light spectrum's. For vegging, you want high K, 5000/5500. For flowering, 2300/2700 K. These "K" numbers are usually on the base of the CFL. Good luck & good grow.......BB
