So iv never grown before and i happen to stumble across these lights. Keep in mind that im doing a PC grow and don't expect the yield to be a lot.

they will work well for vegitation in a pc ... the 26 watt ones may be better if your running a fan for heat removal ... but those should work fine . Keep in mind that the daylight ones work best for veggin and for flowering you will want to switch to the soft white ones for that amber glow the ladies love so much ^ ^ good luck

thanks for the tip! and yes i have 4 of 5000k cfl's going in my pc with an exhaust and intake fan. and i plan on switching over to the 2700k when its flowering time.

also i ordered some autoflowering seeds, so what would be the best lighting schedule you think for me? should i do 24/0 for the the veg or do 18/6 all the way through my grow? and thanks again
