one lucky tomato

  1. Hey People
     
    Can someone please tell me if either of the following lights would be enough to grow one cherry tomato plant OR one mini bell pepper plant?
     
    1. A 4 way socket loaded with 4 - 100 Watt equivalent (23 Watt) standard CFL's...  If not, how about 2      4-ways for a total of 8 - 100 Watt equivalent CFLs?
     
    2. A metal wing type reflector with a 250 watt CFL "grow light"
     
    3. The same wing as # two above but in a 150 watt version.
     
    If you know the answer to the above for sure please tell me and if not can you give me your best guess?
     
    Also, About how many of the above two plants do you think I could grow under a 600 watt Halide / HPS light? I was thinking of at least two cherry tomato and three mini bell peppers all at the same time?  Is that doable under 1 600 W HID?
     
    Thank You !
     

     
  2. yes yes and yes all would work for their part. and prolly yes to the last for the 600 watt question
     
  3. I'd even say you could probaby manage 3 of each plant under a 600W HID. All depends on how big you want them to get; tomatoes and peppers both grow as big as you let them, pretty much.
