I think you are listing the wattage equivalent, not the true or actual wattage per bulb. When you buy CFL's, read the packaging closely. I usually buy the 150 watt equivalent, 2700K bulbs from Home Depot, their true wattage is only 72 watts per bulb. I run three of those on one plant, they are huge. The size of each bulb is approximately 8 inches long by 4.5 inches wide. Therefore one plant gets 216 true watts of 2700K for flowering.
The bulbs you are showing in pictures look like 26 watt bulbs. Am I wrong? Happy Growing!
