The local walmart doesn't sell anything over 26 watt (equivalent to 100w) 1600 lumens. Is this good enough? how many should i use per plant? i also have many little ones, but I'd rather use the stronger ones.

I have Daylights for veg and soft for flower.
should i mix them for the whole growth or switch them when flower time comes?

I use the 100w equivilants for veg. I have 8 in a 3 x 4 x 4 for 8 plants and 5 for the 8 right out of the cloner and 2 60w for the cloning. They save energy and work a lot better then 1 400wMH and a floro for the same space.

hey whats up

yeah, the 26 watt from wally world are fine,
you'll need the "daylight" for veg and "softwhite" for flower.
I would recommend three per plant or a good rule of thumb-3000 lumens per square foot

BULLS RULE
