your prolly gonna need more than one for just one plant. i dont think you could grow 3 with one. but the one your gonna start with during the vegging phase is the 6500k, then switch to 2700 during flowering.

150w for 1st plant and 50w per plant after (Vege) 6500K
200w for 1st plant and 100w per plant after (flowering) 2700k

i think you're refering to 100w incandescent equivilant. its actually really 24w.
you either need many small ones, or just get some high power CFLs online.
there are 65w - 325w equivilant ones.
there are also 120w and even 250w CFLs you can consider

buy one or 2 big watters only they are not efficent as the 23watt.
23 watts have a 69lumens/watt ratio....as the it gets bigger u add wattage but lower light quality.... just get 1x 200w CFL and put that on top and use 23w cfl around the plant and in dark areas.
