Good enough for what? Your going to need more light no matter what wattage bulbs your using. It will definitely grow marijuana though, just not the dense sugary buds your use to.

That question is asked a lot. From my experience, if you have to ask....

But really what grower has enough light. I'm always trying to expand and end up growing way more than I have room for.

usually if the plants are "stretching" towards the light means you need more...your prob using the 23watt(100w equivalent) usually sold in any store i suppose...IMO yes you need more light...depending on size of plants...prob 6 or 8 more

i looked at your little lady bedside...awesome...im not to new to this but i still learn everyday and an experienced teacher like yourself is always awesome...thats what i thought i read somewhere else that sometimes they cant handle that kind of light...but i will def take your advice...i would love to put some pics on here for you to see my first grow but im paranoid...she has been in flower for at least 8-10 weeks...i didnt log this first grow but i am on my second... i know dont laugh...my first grow was unexpected...i dont know strain cuz it was bagseed...but surprized myself and she seems to be doing well some trichs are starting to amber so i expect to be harvesting soon...all CFL by the way...should i stop nutes or keep them going as i really dont have a clue when she is ready for daddy to tap that ass...
