White Shark likes a lot of light. At least 400w min. I have had a lot of success with the Phillips 42w 6500k. Use about 10 for the veg but you only have a 21 day veg cycle so you could possibly use them to flower, seems like an interesting strain. If you just want flower lighting Phillips has a 2 pack of 23w 2700k lights but the info on weednet means you would need 10 packs. Good Luck.

if your ganna grow cfl you need a lot ... i had 12 42w set up in a small grow cab and my buds where still fluffy... if you can you need to get atleast a 100w hps and vent somehow... im telling you cfls can be good but under PERFECT conditions besides that they arnt the best
