Man really you're going to need more to be happy w the results and for it to be worth the time.

Would it grow? Yeah.
Will it produce a zip even? Nah

One of those led grow bulbs that screw into a regular base would be better imo, but idk if you would be happy with the results really.

I wouldn't be

They will work. I did my first 3 or 4 grows with only 6 23w CFL's. Do a search for CFL soda can reflector. An HPS would be better but adds way more complexity. CFL's only is fine for first few grows.

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. And remember anyone may have a well-known member status…but that means they have posted and responded to many threads and does not always mean well-educated growerz. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

Soaking up all that information and sifting through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

Would it be okay since I have two plants to put 4 on each plant of these?

I need help with this lighting issue lol and if I can get 8 of these bulbs for 37 then honestly that wouldn't be half bad

When I was starting out I researched the shit out of cultivation. I was going to go with CFL myself at first. But after further reading I realized I would not be happy in the long run if I did not have better lighting. I was to deep into wanting to do it the best way I could to 'cheap out' so I started with 250w HID ...something like this...

Please forgive me if I come off like an asshole no offense intended....You apparently have done no reading or researching of any kind or you would not be asking how to water a plant. Like I said in my previous post there are plenty of growers here that are willing to help...but, no one is going to walk you by the hand step by step through your grow. Take some time to read and learn...you can cultivate cannabis OR you can grow some weed. The choice is yours.

Too big of a pot to start a seedling in IMO. Better to start in party cups. More wet/dry cycles keeps more O2 around the roots when they're small and not drinking much. Besides that, starting in party cups, if using bag seed, you can germ more than you need then cherry pick the ones that you want. I like to look for really wide leaf blades to hopefully get a squatter indica leaning pheno.

I'd have said the same, but too late now.
