How much can my setup grow?

Hey guys.
I was wondering if i can grow more than 1 plant with my setup.^
I have only grown 1 time, and the plant did well, i think.
My previous setup was:
1x 36w led bulb (actual 15w) 6 red & 2 blue
2x 20w cfl 2700k for flowering

The plant did okay, but it was just some random seed, and the plant went waaayyy to high..
My lamp fell down from the table and killed it.... whatever

Now i just ordered a 150w led ufo (recieving tommorow), but from ebay, so i dont know the actual wattage. I know its way better to buy from "real" company's, but i dont have a lot of money to spend.

My setup tommorow:
1x 36w led bulb (actual 15w) 6 red & 2 blue
2x 20w cfl 2700k for flowering
1x 150w ufo led w/ red and blue
1x 35w fan
I have no tent, but ill buy one next month

My question is:
How many plants do you think i can grow? or should i just spend all the energy on 1 plant?
MORE YIELD THE BETTER!

I am gonna plant 1x royal dwarf auto & 1x sweet tooth auto (bought from royal queen seeds)

HOPE U CAN HELP, ty

Probably around 170 real watts. I would try 2 plants, low stress trained or scrog. Flower in one gallon pots. Or one plant in 2 gallon pot. Ounce per plant, 2 ounces for 2 gallon pot.

Okay thank u a lot guys! I just found out, that my 150w led ufo is only about 36 actual wattage... So thats why you dont buy stuff from ebay, but it was only about 36euro. I will just go for 1 plant at a time in a 2 gallon pot.

Thank u for ur time

I am considering buying 2 E27 to Double E27 Socket & then buy 2 26w 6400k cfl bulbs.. Just 2 be safe
Maybe 60-70 grams with the 2 26w CFL bulbs.

It's better to use generic warm white LED bulbs and removing the bulb/diffuser
With some ceiling sockets, a piece of wood and some pretty simple wiring thanks to wago connectors you can get a great growlight.
Don't even need a drill since most wood is soft enough to screw push the screws in.
80 lm/w can already get up to 1g/w which actually beats a lot of more expensive LED "growlights".

LED bulbs simply destroy CFL, mostly because the light is directional as opposed to omnidirectional. (same yield, 1/3 the wattage in bad case scenarios)
