I have 6 - 2700 CFL's and one 15w tube.. is this enough for flowering one plant that has been pruned (i have probably 5 colas growing) its about 3 feet tall and 2 1/2 feet wide.. its on its 2 week of flowering.....

do you think that is enough for the flowering period?

THANKS!

6 26w spirals and the tube is and sure will do justice for veg state growth and will make out for flowering as well. Just remember more red/orange spectrum light is better for flowering ^^

sounds like you've got it down, switched to 2700's for flowering; 156W from the spirals should be fine for one plant but where you place them will be important.

You want to make sure the entire plant is exposed to light, not just the top level foliage. So while 156W is good for one plant, if you have all of the light only reaching the top of the plant with no side lighting and little light penetration, then it won't do you much good.
