How much money you got to spend ?

With cfls you need to get the proper spectrum. Around 6500k for beg and 2700k for flower. You can get by with approx 100w per plant, but more will Def be better. And put light on 12/12 during flower. Easy greasy!

Campzoe: have you considered T-5's? Some manufacturers took all the thinking out of it. The fixture comes with a set of blue grow lamps already installed and they give you a set of red flowering lamps for when your babies are ready. Just make sure that you buy a fixture long and wide enough to cover your grow. HSA
