Thanks dude i had a feeling i would. im gonna try to get a stronger clf bulb or something.
I get my CFLs from home depot, they have anywhere from 23w to a monster 65w (300 equivalent). I run ~650 actual watts for my plants. CFLs can grow nice plants.

They'll work for a while. I rigged 2 of those up vertically in a white trash can and vegged 2 plants for about a month in 2 liter bottles. Had little short bushes I topped at every node 3x. It was inspired by Trailer Park Boys. Even lined the inside with an emergency blanket and Elmers Glue. I didn't think it'd work but it did just fine. They were the 2 foot tubes. The 1 footers would work. Just keep em close and on opposite sides of the plant.

Yes, that is enough light to veg her effectively, for up to a month. I like to top, train, maybe a light super-crop. Cheers :leaf:

Very welcome. Take care of her (not too much fertilizer) - start @ 1/2 strength and carefully go up as the plant gets bigger :blsmoke:
I usually start a 1/4 strength with ionic...learned rhat lesson for sure haha unless i see that it needs more then i boost it
