PC Grow Box Light 100w or 200w?

  1. Ive been looking around for what lights and ive found a 100w bulb and a set of 2 100 watt bulbs. What will be enough for a small plant inside a pc grow box? I guess 1 100w bulb has 1400 lumens i dont think thats enough but ive seen before that 100w is fine.
     
  2. 25-50 watts per square ft per plant
     
  3. Are you talking about one of the big CFL's or small bulbs?

    I cant seem to find small bulbs with more than about 26W. I have a 200W CFL but I know that would be overkill for such a small area and probably wouldnt fit in a PC anyway. I'm covering almost 16 square feet with it.

    you need 100 actual watts, (26w equiv to 100w) per plant, and you can find them in home depot, target, walmart, etc

    4 26 watters will be enough for one plant, and it's probably all you're gonna be able to cool effectively in that small of a case
