Question How many grams per watt for CFL growing?
I mean like how a 20-watt equals 100-watts light...

How much for 2 plants with normal value 200-watts of light?

you'll never get an exact answer to that, lights are only one factor when it comes to yield, you also have to consider room to grow, your medium, the ph of the soil and water, the nutes you give it, room temp and humidity, and there is lots of other stuff...if it's your first time, just be happy if you break an oz.

You want an average of 160 actual watts/plant. The light must be distributed to all sides of the plant or else you will only produce small nugs on the lower branches.

Right now i'm flowering two Hindu Kush plants with 3 42W, 2700 Lumen CFLs. Everyday the buds are getting noticeably bigger. I actually started with 4 42W lights and one 90W Daylight lamp but my obsession with perfection resulted in me breaking two of the lights while trying to adjust them, so now i'm down to 3 for right now.

Even though they seem so to be doing they're thing, I can tell you that i'm in desperate need of more lights. I'm even considering getting a HPS to finish the job. If you're gonna go with CFLs though, you'll need a lot of them. I would say at least four or five per plant. You'll still have to position them and make sure the leaves are getting dried out by the light which is why I find myself adjusting them almost daily. Do like me and be happy with whatever you get. Consider it practice for your next grow. Good luck

here is my setup 14 bulbs total, 2 days into flowering, no buds yet got about 12 more days til i will have any kind of buds, but it's 33 inches tall, and 33 inches across, i find it really helps with cfls if you help lower branches pass through the fan leaves
