    25w is not enough.

    If it were a true 125w CFL it would work okay. I'm going to try somthing different with my mother plants. Instead of having light come from above, I'm going to surround them with flourecents to make them grow outward more.

    100W is a safe bet for one plant. 4-5 23W or 26W CFLs would be good.
