Hi, this is my first time growing Autos. I have just germinated 2 NL Cheese AF ordered from the "Ministry of Cannabis". I have a 2ft x 2ft x 3ft height grow box. Going to use a 70% happy frog soil and 30% perlite mix as my medium. As of now I have four 24W 6400k, 2000Lumens Fluorescent tubes in a reflective holder. That comes out to 2000lumen 24W per square foot. I plan to use this wattage for the first week of growth at 20hours on 4hours off. I have read that a more optimal range for vegetative growth is closer to 5000lumens per square foot. Is it acceptable to add two 100W 6400K CFL's during the veg cycle? I will update tomorrow with pictures when the seeds are planted. Thanks!
 
I used my mars 300 from start to finish. But i know the cfls are better in the veg state. U should be fine. I am sure others will let you know also.

Welcome to AFN!
