New Cfl lights. Questions on them.
    #430022 - 06/08/10 08:10 PM (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ok so I have 5 cfl lights I got them all free and I would like to know If this would be a good setup for a 2-3 plant grow? You think I should use a mixed spectrum or no?

Ok so Here are the lights I have.


The three in the middle are Bright effects 15 watt 6500k. And the bigger ones are TCP 23 watt equivalent to I forgot but I don't think that matters.

But could I use all these And have a decent grow?

Maybe one plant you would do ok. But 3 is pushing it too far and by the time they start to bud there would be so many leaves shading both plants they wouldn't do well. I would stick with one or two plants and train the hell out of them to stay low and stretch out flat.

I used about 4 23watts and 2 15watts for 4 plants in a 20x20in box, they grew to be about a foot and a half total and came out with popcorn buds but were still smokeable. So I would say go for it.

Also I am only pushing 46 watts with the 2 23 watt cfl 2700k lights right? It said something about equivalent watts but didn't pay attention.

Equivalent watts mean nothing and yes 2 plants would probably do OK.

Nothing compared to HID though, you'll get there if you are committed though...

23 watt replaces 100watt, but like said early it doesnt matter what replaces it, 2 plants will do just fine if you train them, i've seen it in a pc grow and they used two 23watt 6500k and two 23watt 2700k cfl's, good luck
