what's better?

what should i go with for my first grow, im only using 2 bulbs, 1 2700k 40watt cfl and 1 6500k 40watt cfl...I was wondering what would be better 12/12 from seedling (sense i only have 2 bulbs) or 18/6 for veg then 12/12 during flower. I also want your opinion on if I should use both bulbs at the same time wile doing 12/12 from seedling (if i choose this method) or if i should use both bulbs at the same time while doing 18/6 veg then 12/12(if i choose this method)

keep in mind i dont care about the harvest and want a somewhat small plant... i just want something that'll actually grow and gimmi some bud to try out!

POST any advice!!! thank you!

How many plants?

1 plant - my first grow

One bulb(6500k 40 watt) is fine until it's around 8 inches tall.

then what? higher watt bulb or more cfls....or can i just use both 40 watt 2700k and 6500k bulbs

You can go either way, this may help:



Try to keep the majority of the foliage within range for your bulb(s).
