Lighting Would a 125w CFL bulb be enough?

[ATPSYG]

Hello everyone!!


Would a 125w CFL bulb be enough light for only 1 plant? The tent I'll be buying is a Secret Jardin 60cmx60cmx150cm.


I've also read here in the forum that the smaller the bulb and wattage, the better the lumen output. So I was wondering if I should have only one 125w bulb or a few smaller bulbs (how many and which wattage??)


I'm really new to this, I've never grown anything before, so this is going to be a nice adventure. If you guys could help, that would be great. By the way, I'll be planting a Diesel automatic from Royal Queen Seeds (http://www.royalqueenseeds.com/180-diesel-automatic.html ), has anybody tried it??


Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat as you buddy, I'm on a 48 watt t5 lighting 2 plants and they're doing good so I'm sure yours will be sound

So do you think that 125w is more than enough and I could grow the plant with smaller wattage?? I really wanna spend as less as possible in electricity without compromising the plant, and the reason is that the electricity bill goes directly to my landlord, and I don't want him to be surprised with it and eventually call to the electricity company with questions!

125 is fine.

Put plant in 2 or 3 gal and go light on nutes. I see a good ounce or 2. LST will help with this a lot.

oh and that 125w is going to cost you about 5-10 bucks a month.
