    I was wondering if these bulbs I already have will work, Watt Miser f34 CW-RS-WM Cool white 34w, Or Litesearch Long life Fluorescent Slime Line instant f96 T12/CW If either of these work, how high do I hang them from the plant, how many do I need per plant they are about 3-5 feet, If These aren't usable, what can I use? I saw that CFL Blue is good for veggie and CFL Red is good for flowering, How many do I need per plant, how long do I leave them on for each day. (About eight plants total in 8 differant 5 gal buckets.)

    if you want to use cfls.....and you have 8 plants that are 3-5 feet each....you are going to need ALOT of cfls

    you are better off picking up a hps system....

    400w to 600w

    You will be much happier with the results and you can pick them up on amazon for pretty cheap or if you got money to spend go to htgsupply.com

    EDIT: Got any pics of the plants? Also, were they outside and you are moving them indoors?
