    soft whites are better for flower, Cool whites for veg, but unless u have the new high tech flous (T5's), u gonna need alot for some good yeild

    You'd have an easier time figuring it out in the FAQ

    u can put them in flower when ever u want, but wait for alternating nodes, and then the flowering prosses takes anywhere from 60-80 days.


    read the faq section of this forum it has everthing u need to know.

    You can put like 4 of those compact bulbs in there and save up for a HID light and make sure you have it before you go into flowering. You wont have an awesome yield but you will have some buds...

    my first grow was done with all floros b/c i wanted to see how it worked out before i made a larger investment-i used cool whites(4 four foot tubes for 4 plants)-for veg-I then changed to 4warm plus 2 compact flors for 12/12-2 plants were female-we ended up with about an ounce yield(had some root binding problems towards the end of flowering)-anyway what you read about the fluffiness is true, however we had great smoke and i was happy with the outcome-for the second grow i have upgraded and their is a difference
