Is this light enough to flower 1 plant in a very compact box with walls as close as possible to the plant maximizing light use?

I'd go with a little more. Im flowering 1 plant (3rd night in the dark as we speak) and using 2 65w 2700k, 2 25w 2700k and 1 30w 3500k. And I still wish I could add some more. Good luck

yea im considered maybe adding a 23w too, but right now the issue is heat. its going to be in pretty much a closed box with holes drilled, alright tested that 1 wont get too hot so ..yea:peace:

get 2 ceiling fans the one in you bathroom and cut them into the back of the box at highest point and that will suck the heat but you need air movement so fans will make a passive system
but light is the key
shitty lighting
shitty plant
then
air movement to draw the heat

it just pop its head out of the soil. i read somewhere here that 2000 is absolute minimum, 3000 is decent, and 4500+ is best.

i would think 2800 would be ok for 1 plant :-|. this is my very first plant, and honestly i just wanna see it grow rather than get high quality dank.

so.. it will work, but the produce will be more or less really sparse?

the plant will grow but it will most likely be weak and lanky and when you decide to flower it, you will hardly get any bud from just the one light you would need to get a few lights all around the plant. Get yourself some of thoses Y splitters for light fixtures that way you can throw 2 bulbs in each lamp
