Its a dual spec its going to be used for the whole process.. In my opinion this will be enough and in time i will add 1 21w cfl near the bottom of the plant when its in flowering

i feel like you need at least 100watts per plant to get something of a decent yield. You might be able to get away with 125 watt bulb for 2 plants during veg. But no way will that be sufficient during flowering.
