an 8 watt cfl is equivalent to a 50-100 watt regular incondescant light bulb like a light blub thats in a lamp. A 100 watt incondescant light bulb found in a lamp is nowhere near strong enough for growing. It is an 8 watt cfl which is equivalnt to 50-100 watts. If your growing 1 plant you can prolly get away with 5 of those little bulbs

Ya it will do just fine for the beggining. They will just need more light when they start to grow up and get bigger

Those are not 8 watts. They are 20. If you look closely to the writing around the 8, it says years.

4 or 5 of those 20w bulbs should be able to produce 1 decent plant.
