you will need more then 4 24watters to flower i would think,so slowly adapt them to the sun and outdoors and plant outside,google hardeningoff or search the forums.

Start bringing her outside a few hours each day. Mother Nature will take good care of her. You could have a monster at the end of the season. And you would need more cfl's to flower her out inside.

nothing wrong with an experiment,it is always exciteing trying and learning something new,go for it,just make sure that if needed you have the money and the room to add more lights.

its *possible* to flower under 1 13w cfl......but yield will be almost non-existent. 3 26w 2700k cfl is just not enough to get a worthwhile harvest.

shoot for at least 400w for a decent harvest. i use 18 40w cfls that put out 2600 lumens each. got 3-4 ounces dried from my one plant scrog.

get some y sockets, they allow 2 bulbs a light socket.also ever heard of a power strip/bar? y splitters are only like 2 dollars.....and they also make light sockets that plug dirrectly into any electric outlet/source plugged into (this is why the power strips are so useful. plug the light socket into the power bar then take the y splitters and put em in the sockets then add the bulbs.
