  1. Hello, I'm very new to growing and have a lot to learn still, I have one plant under a lamp that has a 75w Daylight Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb. Is this lightbulb fine for growing?

    Hey, Acid, the light you have right now is kinda weak.
    For each plant, you should have at least 100 watts, bare minimum. I would recommend atleast 150 watts. What you could also do is grab some 100 watt equivalent CFLS, that use 23 watts, and throw atleast 2 over your plant, no need for more than 3. That equals to 200-300 watts on one plant, which is very good. That's what I'm doing right now.

    First grab CFL bulbs that are 6500k for vegetation. Then durring flowering grab the same bulbs, but with 2700k. It should say the K right on the box.
     
  3. thank you! I just added another 75 watt light on my plant so it's equivalent to 150w so it's better than before
