How many lumens is the light putting out? Probably about 3 plants at the most. But someone with alittle more experience can chime in on this.

You can probably get away with 4 small plants. I grew mine into there 3rd week and then switched the lights to 12/12 and they are now like 17-18 inches tall now at 22 days into flowering and they are close to double there size now.

Make a good reflector for your light and you might have to add a couple 22 or 42 watt lights also.

P.s If you want to grow just with one dont make the mistake i made, buy yourself one of those purple one's instead of RED !!!
Allthough i didnt need the red one for veg.... more like late veg..... Anyway i veg'd with FL's and 1 CFL ...... Came pretty nice...

it's a hydrofarm bulb from planet naturnal, which has a better price Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
this site is the one that has the lumen specs but is a little more pricey Discount CFL Compact Fluorescent Grow Lights for Plants from ACF Greenhouses
and I'm going to get this ballast/reflector Compact Fluorescent Fixture
I'm going to get a 2700k and a 6400k bulb so I'll have about $160 in lights

I got the same 125 watt cfl from ACF with the hydrofarm reflector . I have 5 afghan sativas growing right now and it's working good. But I'm adding a 50 watt hps and a 25watt compact fluorescent and hopefully I will see even better results. Good luck to you with your added light and reflector as well.

Who is acf what is the bulb... Link...??
Have to be careful about lumen ratings i have seen ratings all over the board some less accurate then others (125w envirolight @ 12000 lumens sounds fishy)

I have that Hydrofarm setup... its not worth the money. The reflector is nice and the bulb is big obviously, but its VERY VERY difficult to arrange close to the plants.
You are MUCH better off with buying 4 42W CFL's plus hookups for it -- much cheaper and way easier to arrange lights around the plants that way.
Just my 2 cents...
