I came home from work and one of my lights went out. I was using 3-42w 2700k CFLs totaling 126w. I replaced it with a 23w 2700k CFL for now until next friday.

My question is.. Are 107w for ONE plant enough for now? I'm doing a 12/12 from seed by the way

thank you all

I would imagine it'll be fine, but it's probably less than ideal. How old is your plant. Why are you doing a 12/12 when it can grow healthier and faster on an 18/6?

The seedling is 3 days old, and I'm doing 12/12 because of space/time/stealth, and it is also my first grow.

What are your space and stealth constraints? You won't be able to flower the plant with just a few CFLs, and depending on the strain of the cannabis, it'll probably be at least 2-3 ft. I've never started a plant on a 12/12 from seed, but I would imagine that it will make it smaller.
