A minimum ammount I would say would be about 150w for a good healthy plant, only 1 though. The plants flower accordingly to there nature.

There are many different type of florescent lights bulbs and you need the correct bulb for the proper cycle of growing. Warm bulbs are (2700k) are best for general growth and flowering. Cool bulbs (6500k) are best for seedling, cloning and vegetative growth.

If they do not have those ratings then get some that do.
