Yes, it means it will put out the equivalent of 100w, but only use 23 watts of power. But that is no where near enough light for one plant, let alone two.ok so i got this 100w replacement cfl it says it only uses 23 watts does this mean it still puts out 100w??
its an eco-bulb cfl soft white says it puts out 1600 lumes will this b good for 2 plants one thats bout 3.5 weeks the othe bout 1.5 weeks old??
On my grow I used 6-26w 6500K (100 watt equiv.) to veg with. I put my plant into flowering at 12" tall using 10-26w 2700K (100w equiv.) and almost a month and a half later it's about 32" tall. So you are going to really need to tie your plants down with such a small grow space.
usually amoung all the brands of cfl's "soft white" is 2700-3000k, good for starting seeds and flowering. go get some high wattage daylight's and kick those girls into veg and switch back to soft white's for flowering, keep in mind that when flowering you will need to add a bulb or 2, flowering requires more light to complete its life cycle
