    you don't want equivalent, you want actual. 100w ACTUAL per plant 68w+(4x23w)=160w

    if you need about 100w ACTUAL per plant, you need two more 23w CFL. and again as WhoBeBoo said, you need to make sure they are the right K Value for veg/flower.

    You keep paying for those cfls and you could have a small hid... But yes the 100 watts will net you some buds with some work and thoughtful placement.

    Kamels cfl guide says 100w actual for the first plant and 50 watts for every extra plant after that. You're good as long as the light is close enough.

    Thank you for clarification.

    That'll help with my new setup. once I get going, I'll start a journal
