would it be ok to use 3 of these to veg 3 plants a sylvania es 20 watt 2700k warm white Equiv. to: 100W. 950 Lm. per bulb

should be fine for a few weeks. theres a guy in here somewhere that kept his on a 13w bulb and had reasonable growth size. once they get past a few weeks and bigger through youll prolly wanna double that light at the least

You don't have enough light and you need to use a different light spectrum.
You should be using 6500K for vegging. You need to add quite a few more to sufficiently grow 3 plants

Good luck

this is down in the 'micro' range, you'd need to have a mighty small grow space for this light

would 3 of these do this do sorry guys for being a pain just new to vegging with cfls High powered 25W screw fitting daylight simulation energy saver with light output equivalent to a 125W incandescent bulb. These ultra-bright ultra-white bulbs cover the full spectrum of natural daylight anyone needing a bright, high quality light. Lumen Output 1510 lumens 6400K

Those would be better but as said, only when very small.

its only for 3 weeks max i have a 600 hps for flower trying to save little bit of money during veg really no nd to use hps for this thanks

not sure how long you can go with the small lighting, but can veg until you see the beginnings of stretch
then you can wheel the hps in to take over

thats not enough for 3 weeks. add 3 more at the least after a week or so depending how fast they grow

You want to aim for 3,000 lumens per square foot or 100 watts.

ok guys thanks just gonna go with 6 20 watters hopfully should do the job until they ready to go under hps peace
