I would say at least 100 watts per each plant but would prolly get the seedlings through their first few weeks of life

yea they would be a good start if it were me id get 4 6500k and 2 2700k and put them all above your plants. Mixed spectrum through out the grow is good. This is a good start you are going to need more light when it starts flowering and getting bigger tho

and not to bash cfls ive seen some great grows with them and I started out with them, but in my experience they are more of a pain than anything, they have to be super close like 3-6" away you need a TON of bulbs If your going to use the 40w bulbs and the more you get the more heat there is so I switched to led and for me the headache on lights is gone

Do you think 2 t5 tubes would better?
