photo-3.JPGHey Mrs.Sunny I was wondering if one of these would work? Or if I used two of these bulbs on my plant for the first couple weeks??

that will grow your plant for maybe a week from sprout. then your plant will start to hate you. id get at least 5 23w bulbs, then you are good on one plabt, with some LST until flower. min was at least.

you could use those but i wouldn't recommend them. as mentioned above you want to use 6500k (the ones you have are 2700k and that is "red" temperature wise (not heat temperature but color temperature)). you want the 6500k as this is "blue" and used for vegging. the "red" 2700k cfls are good for flowering. and also, you really need more actual wattage. 13 won't get them very big. i know you want to transplant them outside to finish these autos but i would definitely want to give them a good start while vegging. remember with light you can never get too much (unless you cant control the heat)
now i'm not saying those won't work because they will, will just take a lot longer for them to get big enough to sit outside you know. :eyesmoke:

I wouldn't...I used four 26w 6500k for first 2 weeks, and then bought a couple hoods, and more 6500k, and then some 2700k to give a fuller light spectrum...I'm running almost 500watts...6500k are for vegin'...2700k is for flowering....you can put 2-6500k to 1-2700k for veg and the opposite for flower.....here's what you want to start with...
