Never use incandescent, they are shit,, cfls or fluorescent for cheap, hps if you wanna spend some money,,, IMO,,, the cfls are the swirly ones, and grow light,, but your gonna want atleast 50,100 actual watts per plant at minimum,,,, 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower

The first two possibly, depending on what colour they are.

But wickedsmoke's right; bin the incandescent imo, man they get hot!

for one plant id either get a bunch of 26w (actual wattage) cfls and hang them all around the plant (4-8 should do) or get 1 high quality 90w LED UFO. when u factor in all the extra power cords and stuff neeeded for CFL it comes out to nearly the same price. deffinatly dont use incadenscants. those are my opinions anyways gl

Look again its only using 13 wats,, k stands for kelvins,, basically the color temp, blue for veg, red for flower,, and theres in between that offer more or less of one another , but just google it and you can see some charts and graphs
