well check out my pic on newbie 1.5 months and read the tread or post good shit ull get a lol os lmao for shur i got pic of my shit reply bk on 1.5 months newbie if u can thanks for the info.
good looking pic, but here are the basics.
until you enter flowering, a plant will only need around 100W of power (not the eqivalence, raw wattage) so whether its 5 x 20, or 1 x 105 W CFL (the big big ones), you are fine. For vegetative, you want the light frequency (K) to be 5000-6500. This is the blue tint.
For flowering, you will switch the lights over to K of 2700 or the orange tint. If you want, many growers say they experience better growth by leaving one or two 5000-6500 K to increase the range of the spectrum of light being absorbed to increase flavor. You will also need to double the amount of light if you want to have dense buds, as the flowering sites will have to be reached from lights at many different locations. Hanging them from the ceiling attached to mogul sockets with long cords (can be bought at lowes) is a simple solution, and I use it on all my mother plants.
I personally advise going to your lowes store, getting a 6 pack of 5500 K and 6 pack of 2700 K, and some dual attachments so 2 lights can be hung from the same socket, and you are set to go.
Also, because light diminishes so quickly over distance, CFL's should be placed close to the plant so there is a need for a fan to make sure the leaves don't get burned. If you have 1 fan, i suggest 4-5" away, but if you have good ventilation and low temps, 2-3 or 1" even is good. the more light the better and faster! make sure you take the added heat and transpiration into account by either watering more if you have soil, or checking your reservoir if you are doing hydro
