Might last you a couple of weeks. After that you'll need something stronger.

over top of the sprouts will be more beneficial..

:rofl:

what size of a box do you have it all in?? IMO them soft white CFLs are better for flowering id use the cool white ones or the daylight ones for vegging.

smal 44" w 22" deep. how would it work if i add 6 27 watt daylight cfls

 

[Fretless]

So 3x42 watt warm CFLs
6x27 watt cool CFLs

I think that will be quite effective for lighting 3 plants. But the space is almost certainly too shallow. Including the containers and the lights, it barely leaves 10" of vertical grow space.
