    100 watts a plant, more is better. 6500k for first half 2700k for flowring

    ^That's a minimum for CFLs. And that's actual watts, not "equivalent" or "replacement" watts.

    Thanks guys, helped a ton :D
    something i just thought of. In the flowering stage do i run just 2700, or do i run a mix? like half and half?

    If you're running on minimum watts, go all 2700K. If you have more, perhaps a mixed spectrum would do fine. But only if you want to incentivate radial/upwards growth for "perhaps" bigger buds.

    Idk... From the spot I see it, when it's time to flower, it's time to flower. It should be big enough by then. If not, veg it a bit longer. 2700K full throttle.
