    Default vegging under cfl's

    how good is it to veg under cfl's? I'm vegging 8 under a 125w maxi bright and growth is a little slow for my liking so i'm getting a 250w maxi bright with a power plant hood, you can get them from greens if you can be arsed to have a look. The question is could i veg under the 250w and 125w untill flower, about 6-8 weeks. Would they grow ok?

    I've never had a prob mate, i diy'ed together 4 30 W 18inch flourescent tubes and they're fine for the first two weeks, and then under the HPS they go. Any stretching is not visible after that.

    I'd only worry about if you were planning on vegging for a while and getting huge plants

    i'll be flowering them under 1200w cool tubes. 2x 600w hps's. I would veg them under the hps's but it cost's like 2 quid a day to run! How does my plan sound?

    It sounds spot on, vegging 6 plants under 375w of CFL, then flowering under 1200w of HPS. Very nice mate.
