    300 Watt? You mean 30? Check the actual wattage again.

    well it's 68 but it's equivalent to 300 watts they're fucking huge.

    You have to look at actual wattage, not the equivalent.
    So 3x68=204.
    Good for one plant. ;)

    You should be more concerned with lumens than watts. Watts is just a measure of electric work. Lumens is a measure of light output. Shoot for 3,000 lumens per sq. foot of garden. The more, the merrier.

    I might have over done it then, each bulb is 4,200 lumens. And it's about 2 sqft.

    You're all good. 3k is a minimum to shoot for. I'm just shooting off what I've read though. But, it's from the MJ Hort. grow bible.
