The watts don't matter, it's the lumens the light Feeds

There's a lot of assholes here. You were new at growing once too, and still, you don't know EVERYTHING. So get off the 15 watt kid's ass. He asked a question, how about ANSWER IT like an intelligent person, instead of putting him down. Isn't that the whole point of this war we have on drugs? Equality, and a chance for everyone? Don't be the ignorant stoners who think they run the pot business because you have a large scale grow op. Grow UP

You want to start out with no less than a 150 watt for a single plant. HPS (High pressure sodium) lights work best, but CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) are ok too, for veg state, CFLs have the blue spectrum, which helps with veg, and once you go into flowering, I'd recommend HPS, for the red spectrum which helps budding. Honestly, I'd recommend HPS off rip, they're just pricey. Keep asking questions, eventually you'll run into someone HELPFUL, rather than these other dicks

And btw you dont need at least 150 hps watts. I got 6 plants under less than half of that.... And they are cfls.
Sure, id advise anyone to use as much light as possible. 15 watts is a joke, but im using 60 and doing fine. Just dooming my plants to be runts is all.
Know what your talking about befor you try to raise a thread from the dead.

Yeah, I was trying to advise on how NOT to get runts. Not going to tell someone how to grow half-assed.

Well sir, 150w hps is good for a small grow, but someone with only a 15 watt bulb probably don't have the money for one. If i directed all my lights to one or two plants they would be in great shape. They are actually impressively healthy for the conditions.
He didn't say how many plants he was growing. Maybe it was just one.... In which case a few cheap cfls are just fine.

touche. i used a 150 cfl for my first plant in the vag state. i added two more as i went along, but the one did just fine, but i saw a CRAZY growth spurt on my buds when I stuck in a 400 HPS (i dialed it down to 250 because I have a small closet) like, my buds doubled size in two days. Everyone's experience is different. Growth was just SO slow with the 1 150 cfl

I plan on buying better lights over the next few weeks for the clones i take after these show sex.

That's probably to many watts..you might burn the plant

Lmfao. Keep smokinUm,....I'm not sure what technique you are describing, but it seems like you are talking about very specific circumstances? Like...burying a small lower branch, in which you've removed the main leaf/leaves, then burying that near-bare stem? That would work. But, being as loaded as I am,LOL it sounded like you were saying that you can take the leftover section of stem that was connected to the leaf(after you've cut the 'fan' from it), bend it down to the soil, bury it, and have it grow roots. I'm high, but, that still sounds impossible.I'm guessing it's the wording that's a little mixed up? Or,....maybe you have a decent buzz, too?
