hi im new to the growing under cfls game i need to know if 1 all round spectrum lamp 6400k that is sold at hydro store for 80 buks and a couple of 27 wtt cfls daylights would be ok for veg stage for 1 to 2 plants ,and would 1 red end spectrum lamp 2700k and a couple of 27wtt cfls soft whites be ok for flower stage im only going to have the 1 closet for veg and flower . or can i use both spectrums lamps and a few 27 wtts cfls soft whites for veg and flower ,or do i have to veg with the all round spec 6500k and a couple 27 wtt cfls daylight ,then when ready to flower ,switch lights over ,put the red end spec lamp 2700 and a couple of 27wtt soft whites around the sides of plant , hope some1 can help me get things under way:bigjoint:

not 1 reply bak lol,anyway im bak with fresh ideas now,i have a 3 1/2ft high 2 1/2ft wide 2ft deep cabinet that im going to be growing 2 plants in,they will most likely be in a 2 pot autopot system 45ltr tub 25cm pots it automatically feeds plants when medium drys out ,r these autopot systems ok for cannibis?i will be using the scrog method under a 250 watt hps due to height restrictions,for ventillation i was thinking of fixing 2 120mm hydro fans on top of the cabinet exuasting the hot air ,1 of the same fans blowing over plants and light,and 2 30cm intake holes on each side down bottom of front door on cabinet,i need to come up with the dollars first but thats wat im looking at doing when the time comes, basically want opoins from u peeps to give me ideas and let me know if this will work such as ventillation ect thanks bongsmiley

When I started with cfls I ran 6 42w 2700k for entire grow and work fine for me . I grew 2 plants and they did very well.
