would these cfl lights work for a single plant

are the cfl eco-bulbs that are manufactured by feit that are 75 watts each be enough for a single plant?

About six of them might be.

depends on the size of the grow area you will need six to flower but you can veg with 3 of them... make sure you keep the lights as close as you can with out burning them.... good luck

I have found the more light the merrier Just make sure you have enough lights and make sure that they are close to the plants so you don't end up with a bunch of stretched girls

ive always heard from member that 2 lights per plant works.. thats how i have mine for veg.. but the more lights the faster the grow..

these eco lights use 75 percent electricity and have less mercury so i feel for some reason they might not work but we will see. I happen to have a 6 pack

Keep the plant trained almost flat for best results with the cfls

Yes indeed, it appears that LST and Scrog setups are a good choice when working with CFL's. You can control where the light hits the plants much more easily as you're working with a level canopy instead of a taller, multi-level plant.

In a hypothetical grow, one might take the six eco-bulbs and scrog one plant, spacing the lights strategically and evenly over the screen...allowing it to vegetate a bit longer due to keeping it's actual height lower. When flowering, it seems that more light is utilized efficiently as one is better able to get the lights closer over the whole plant, and all the buds grow from the canopy so none get any less light than the others which certainly helps the quality I'm sure. Using LST properly acheives a similiar effect.
I've also read that two per plant works great, so if one had three females, perhaps they could rock out with a scrog and a six pack...lol

what are LST and scrog? sorry ive just never heard about either

LST...tying down branches so they turn up evenly...more yield

oh yeah i was already thinking about tying i just didn't know those names. hopefully soon i can post a new thread for the growbox

I had one that started growing laying on it's side and I was afraid it wouldn't make it now it's the best looking plant I have!
