so 3 x 23w cfl's would be enough to veg a plant for a month or 2 ?
or whats the actual aim i need to look for? how many lumens per plant to veg?

check out my grow in my sig. lower wattage is needed for veg, but i typically run each plant at 60-80 watts each throught their life cycle. 3 23w will be enough as long as you keep your plant close to the lights during veg, and do yourself a favor and apply a little training (lst or topping) to your plant for a bigger yield at harvest. because cfls do not have the canopy penetration that hid's do, it is very important to train your plants to maximize the harvest potential of each plant. ive always used hid until about a year ago, when space limitation became an issue. i am very satisfied with the cfl production and have set up several other people with them as well. if you need help hit me up, or hit up any experienced cfl grower on here and they will help you. good luck
whats kind of numbers you get with cfls

last run i was just under an oz per plant, 4 plants about 14-18" tall. this run im looking at probably close to 2 oz a plant, 3 plants about 2' tall...... assuming those are the "numbers" you are refering to. no need to be sneaky with your wording around here dude. ask questions in full and you'll always get a much better answer. welcome to riu. lots of knowledge to be gained here and people to help you along your grow. msg me if you want help/need help or advice.
