I use 125w cfl and it grows a plant like a treat but im thinking off goin to 300w and doing a auto strain

That 14W will not carry you all the way through. I'd say you will need to aim for at least 100W of well positioned CFLs. Personally I prefer to flower under HPS, but I always veg under CFL with great success.

alot of 26 watters will do better than just one big one

i got 2 100 w and 2 125 or 120 w cfl seeds just popped bout 5 days ago is that too much light for them right now cause if you see my pic by my name the leaves are droopin and i know its not over and under watering but my humidity is low around 25 to 35 could that be the problem???

yes your humidity is to low get it around 50-60 and lots of light doesnt hurt them at all

wont harm later on but the blue light is what you want for your veg stage with the lack of blue your crop will take longer

ok thanks im glad it wont harm them i really need to find some blue spectrum cfls with a 100w

soft white =veg

daylight=bloom

I would say you'd be better off getting a bunch of smaller bulbs instead of one big one. Get some 42's or 26's and spread them out evenly around your girl(s)
