beginner needing light help!!!!!!

i just need to know if you can use 2 150 watt cfls with a metal hood around them for growing in veg. and then to bud with too thanks?

150 watts actual watts ? yes.

You can veg and bloom with CFLs many people do and get good results. Are the CFLs you have a true 150w or are they 150w equivalent? a 150w equivalent CFL is only like 20 or so "true" watts. In that case no you wouldn't get much if anything from 40w of CFL. *edit Gah you beat me again frm.. lol!

yes you can.

Yeah but you will want to have more of them.

i had 60 Watts CFl in total while vegging two plants. it worked, but it grew real real real slow though

Hell yeah....I started off growing with a 4" 2 bulb floro.....

Yes, for 2 weeks since sprouting. Then you'll probably want more light.
If you'll flower with them they really won't yield much.

i have 2 right now and the label says "self ballasted lamp 32w 120v 60hz 2700k"how many i need min?????

you can with as little as one. Its up to what your aims are.
