is 130 watts enough?

yo i was wondering if 130 acutal watts not equivelent would be enough for one plant? i was going to get 260 actual watts for 2 plants and i would put 130 over each plant.

What kind of watts? CFL or led, CFL is not enough unless you don't want much bud, but as far ad led that may be enough for one plant.

You can still get an oz or two maybe a little more if you train it right using that. Make sure to keep em close and have the walls as close in around your plant as you can to reflect in more light.

what if i just used the 260 watts for just one plant how much do you think i could get, like 4 oz

It's possible. I am getting around .4 gpw from my past 3 grows with cfls not sure how my latest will turn out but you should be able to get 3-4 oz off 260. Training is key and veg time should be a lil longer, keep your canopy level unless you want to surround your plant in cfls, do a lot of LST and topping and you should be able to get close to that. Don't be disappointed if you get closer to 2-3 on your first go though.

its plenty to veg. come flower, youll want more. but the bulbs for flowering are stupid cheap. 3 for a dollar at some places.

use both bulbs for one plant

Of course. I forgot to mention to use cool white or daylight for vegging 4500-6000k, and warm white for flowering 2700k. You can use a mix throughout but make sure to keep it more on the warm side in flowering and if you use mostly cool in vegging you'll see big growth difference from warm white only.

Yea, I personally am using a hanging cfl light @ 125 actual watts of the bloom variety (2700k) with an additional 3 auxilary cfls at the bottom of the plant for the lower half (had some stretching occur) and it has been doing pretty well. So yea 194 actual watts.

Wow! Why the hell am I using 1000 watts of hps if I can use the lights in my den to grow dank??

I think ya know, but 1000w of cfls wouldn't exactly be great to work with. Especially using typical household sized cfls lol. And they get less efficient when you get the bigger sized ones too, although 10x 100w is def better than 40 25w clutter wise.
