I am setting up a closet grow for personal use. I have 3 65 watt CFL bulbs plus a supplemental PAR38 14 watt Blue LEd for veg and a PAR38 14watt Red LED for flowering/budding. I am only growing 4 plants this time. Is this enough light? Or do Or do I need more?

Is that true watts for the cfl's and are they 2700k ? If so, my next question would be how big do you plan on growing the plants..? These will help answer your question because that amount of wattage is better for around 2 plants.. in a small area no more than 2' tall..

I cancled my order for the 65 watt CFLs. I am going to get 1 125 watt 6500 and 1 125 watt 2700. I know I need more wattage, so in addition to those, which I'll switch at the proper time, I will get 2 lower wattage CFLs at 6500 and 2 at 2700. I will also be using a blue led for veg. and a red for flower/budding. I guess I'll find out if it's enough based on how my plants do!
