Sorry pictures didn't load before. If you say the lights are fine....... Suit yourself, if you've read a ton on cfl's you'd know that you need more than 84 watts a plant, more like as many as space and heat allow. I'm not trying to be a dick, i started four plants with 546actual watts of cfl, then they went to 400mh now almost done flowering under 1khps, i knownthe capabilities of cfls and 84watts is not enough for a month old plant, and certainly not enough to flower said plant.

Guess you only grow for a pound a plant. Im not trying to get that much bro. Its my First grow.
If the lights were like a foot away and lighting an 2x2area id agree with you. But my lights are on top of the plant lighting the entire thing. No part of the plant is farther then 6inches from the light.

My first grow too, hoping for a 4-6 oz. A plant, if you're going to do it, do it! But really, why not double to 164watts??? The plant would be double the size. You're spending 3 plus months, might as well make it worth while. You'll be lucky to get an ounce out of 84 watts for a first grow, for 3 months work....... I'd double it up dude, you'll be happy.

Edit: not here to argue or start fights, I gave my .02, I'll stop.

No, I didn't want to be a dick, sometimes I come across that a way. A cheap way to get more watts is to go with a few 23's. You'll be happy to flower under hps. I was going to do a full cfl grow in a 4' cube cabinet I never thought the wife would let me spend over 3k on my first grow. I ended up with a whole garden, and I'm doing good enough that she said she'll get her rec and I can double the lighting! From one noob to another, good luck and stick with it, problems will only give you experience and help you to prevent said problem in the future. The RIU community is a great place to come to read, and to ask questions. Again, good luck.
