cfl wattage

[PhatJay]

im goin to grow 1 plant at a time my setup im planning is a grow box 80x80x120cm split in half 1 150w 6400k cfl to veg 1 200w 2700k red cfl to flower grown in soil with advanced nutrients super tea while in veg and big bud nutrients to flower. would tht be enough lighting for 1 plant at a time?

If those are the actual wattages, then yes that's enough to get a reasonable amount of bud as long as the plant isn't too large. I managed 2oz a plant using 125w of light per plant. If you add more light you will get more bud, with a 250w 2700k for flower you should be able to get 4oz a plant.

I have found 125w 6500k is plenty enough to veg one plant, I don't plan to go up to to 250 for veg. I have gone up to 250 for flower though, as I know it makes a big difference.
