CFL lighting how much

[YoungBud1088]

New grower right now I have three bulbs on 2 plants. I have a 60 watt spot grow bulb then a 3 way CFL 16/25/32w n a 26 watt CFL. Is that enough?

I'd suggest you have a look at this link beneath:
The Basics Of Plant Lighting

Important stuff to know is kelvin and lumens.

I recommend at least 175watts ACTUAL draw per cfl plant. An additional 70 for each plant after. It is what my countless hours of research has found. Check out my grow setup. You will see the tons of cfl I have for my 1 plant lol

Redlan, when lighting for plant growth, you light to cover the area of the growth, not the number of plants. The link jummejum provided covers the topic. If there are any more in depth questions, please feel free to ask.

I'm giving a basic guideline.
