Equal to?

here is the easiest way I can explain... 1 watt = 1 watt. When a bulb says 35w equal to 150w it is just how it appears to the human eye. a watt is a watt is a watt... can't have a 35w bulb be anymore than 35 watts... just can't happen. I might be a liitle mistaken but generally I believe the "equals to" thing is a sales tactic used by light bulb makers.

2700K will supplement your bloom phase, for veg you should have gotten something in the 6500K range. And if we're talking about one plant, a couple of 35W as supplement for the lower bud sites should do okay.
