This is strictly out of curiosity but what do suppose the minimum amount of wattage it would take to successfully grow a plant from start to finish? Due to light deprivation im sure the yield would be close to nothing but would it possible to grow under 1 or 5watts? Theoretically speaking

Probably about 6w t5 tube would be the min amout of light you could use to grow and pull 1-2 gram of bud as a guess
what I do know is you can veg and flower under a t5 tube so if the pull the hole plant over 90 (when its 6 high) and keep topping the side shoots in flower up to week 2 and let a row of side shoots grow 1-2 up toward the light, 1-2" below the light you should have 8-10 buds weighing about 0.2g each
