The local walmart doesn't sell anything over 26 watt (equivalent to 100w) 1600 lumens. Is this good enough? how many should i use per plant? i also have many little ones, but I'd rather use the stronger ones.

I have Daylights for veg and soft for flower.
should i mix them for the whole growth or switch them when flower time comes?

I use the 100w equivilants for veg. I have 8 in a 3 x 4 x 4 for 8 plants and 5 for the 8 right out of the cloner and 2 60w for the cloning. They save energy and work a lot better then 1 400wMH and a floro for the same space.

it just depends on how many plants you plan on growing

hey whats up

yeah, the 26 watt from wally world are fine,
you'll need the "daylight" for veg and "softwhite" for flower.
I would recommend three per plant or a good rule of thumb-3000 lumens per square foot
