Cfl grow!

Ok so I'm about to start my first grow. Here's how it's gonna go. I'm germinating 2 seeds right now. Both bag seed. As soon as they sprout they will be going in fox farm ocean forest. So my question is how many watts should i use for each plant. I'm wanting to use cfl's. I'll be watering them from day 1 with quarter teaspoon of epsom salt, molasses (unsulphered), And 1/4 tsp of superthrive per gallon to build roots. That water schedule is for week 1. Week 2 i will feed with molasses and epsom salt only. Veging will be 6 weeks 18/6 light schedule. I will start feeding with fox farm grow big starting week 2 also with molasses. So yeah how many watts per plant?:joint:

basically, as many as you can afford and have with your exhaust system

more watts = faster bigger and better growth but higher temps

so find the balance of what you can fit, afford, and keep in reasonable temprature

i have 2X25w and 2X 28
which isnt much but gets upto 40degrees celcius+ without any ventilation in my cupboard

start 5 seeds and sort out the best ones. skip the salt, use quality un-nuted soil, absolutely no miracle grow in any form. 1+ gallon pots. dont over think it and you'll be fine
 
Alright so I think I'm gonna use a 400w hsp for veg and flower.
6/7 weeks 18/6 veg
6/7 weeks 12/12 flower.
I'm gonna skip the salt.
I'm gonna grow 2 bag seed plants.
I'll keep you guys updated.
Hopefully all is well.
