1 plant and 1 75w CFW

Well im using a 75w (might be equivalent) CFW and i believe its doing damn good!

Its only being used on 1 plant as a test to make sure i can actually grow something before i purchase seeds and so far the seedling is damn good.

My question is if im only growing one plant, Will my 75w CFW be good enough? Its damn near touching the seedling and i think it likes it

If it's 75 actual watts, it will be pretty big, the equivalent to 75 watt will be the size of a normal incandescent bulb.

It's probably like 20 actual watts.
That is a small amount of light... My guess, (and this is just a guess mind you) it should live long enough for you
to be able to send it outside in 2-3 weeks. Personally, I'd try to add at least one more.
 
Cool man. I will do, Sadly itll be another week before i can buy a second bulb extension plug. Itll get more light friday. Thanks for your answer man, I'd be lost without people like you

I try.
I'm not an expert by any means, actually quite new at this. But we all have to start somewhere.
This a great site to learn at. I don't mind passing along what I have learned.

CFL bulbs are pretty cheap, not sure your country, but if you're in the US, you can go to the
Home Depot and pick up a 2 pack of 27 watt CFLs for less than $6.

And one of these for less than $3

Good luck and happy growing.
