    Default can i grow a plant using 2700k cfl lights? please help

    completly out of interest, with no intention of growing, can i grow a plant with cfl 2700 kelvin color temp and 10800 lumens? im not bothered if its not the fastest method because the lights are 3 for 50 pence and they have 600 lumens each, i just want to know if the plant will servive

    the 2700k spectrum is a good colour for flowering,but can be used all the way through.
    the lights you mention would not yield much,you need a bigger more intense light to grow a plant that receives decent lummens at the lower growth.
    what wattage are they ?
    if you're retired or you ain't got a job and you ain't growing and smoking weed ,i don't know what the fuck you are doing!

    10,000 Lumens/plant would work... as they're 2700K get yourself some auto's and run them 20 on 4 off and get them as close as possible and you should get smoe smokable bud.

    If the bulbs are 600 lumen each you would need 18 of them to get enough light per plant. That'll take a lot of wiring up and mounting.

    thank you very much for your replys, im looking to grow cheese, as i have some seeds already, only 2 plants as i cant afford many lights and i am limited on space, and the lights are 11watt each, wiring isnt a problem as i am good friends with a sparky, with the lamps being 50p for 3 and the holders being 50p each per plant its costing me £12 on lighting, wire is no issue thanks to my friend, its a low budget project, auto's are an option though, the enclosure is gonna be aproximatly 2.5ft by 3.5ft and height can be up to 6 foot if needed, again, sorry for the disclaimer but you know how it is, i have no intention of growing cannabis, what i have just said is a lie, i have never smoked cannabis and have no intention too. cheers wert and cheers Mr_Bimble, hope to here from you guys soon

    P.S the seeds are feminized

    23watt cfls are 10 p each in tesco or something.
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.
