Would 1 150 watt cfl be enough at first?:stoned:
Or do I need 2?

I have never tried but I would imagine a 20 watter would do it. you dont want the clone to be able to photosynthesize too much.

a clone needs 2000 liumens per sq ft and a 125 watt cfl gives of 68 liumens per watt thats 8500 lumens so hope this helps, i use a 2 x 85 watt flourecent tubes in my clone box and this works perfect for me .
