Hello, I got a little setup indoors, in my basement. Just growing one plant. Now, I have one CFL bulb that's a 13watt replacement for a 60 watt bulb. So what does this mean? Does it mean my bulb is 13watts, or 60watts? And how much wattage should I use for one plant? Thank you
Don't even read the equivalent part, its the lumen or par output you want to know. You need about 3500 lumens per sq/ft to successfully flower a plant.
Rumple, I see some people who have 100 watt equivalents and grow just fine. THC, my bulbs have 1600 lumens each. So I have 3200 lumens right now. I'll just grab another socket and throw it over the plant to make it 4800 lumens
You can grow with 100 watt equivalents. But they are 23 watts and you will need four of them per plant.
Aright, thanks for all your help guys. Definitely appreciate it and will make changes soon. Now, I just got another question. I found a socket adapter from GE. You just screw this into any socket like a regular bulb, and screw in the bulb needed into that. Here's the stats Switch/Lampholder: 250 watts max Receptacle: 660 Watts max Now, could I screw this adapter into a 60 watt socket desk lamp and screw in a say, a 200 watt bulb into that? Would that work?
