A little Grow Help

I'am using one 125v cfl in the flowering stage. Is that enough light power? or should i go bigger.?? and i want a shit ton of bud in the outcome, or as much as possible.

hey mate the more light the better 125 is not realy alot it will do the job but it sems like you want pounds
more lights or bigger 1s will do ya better or try a scrog grow i think they make a better yield

scrog meaning screen of green google it if ya not sure ill be doing 1 when i start ill also be using 250 watt CFL's

I looked up on the scrog grow, it seems really pratical... but my plants are like 4 weeks into flowering... is it to late to try and start a scrog?

the voltage of the light does not matter, watts and lumens do matter. to get as much weed as possible you want as much light as you can get up to 10,000 lumens per square foot of growing area. 3,000 lumens per square foot is considered the minimum amount of light. an average mature plant is about 3 square feet and the average cfl bulb has 66 lumens per watt.

do the math and you want 136 watts to 450 watts of cfl per plant. notice that this is the "actual" watts and not the "equivalent" watts.
