A customer has a question and I hope we can get some opinions on it, thanks

What type of grow light , and how much wattage would you recommend for 3 2gal single plant pots. And how many woks or mos would you suggest I give them max light before I reduce the max light and start putting them in flower mode. Ty

The rule of thumb is 50 watts per square foot. That said, for most plants, 2 gallon pots are not enough. You should join the forum, tell the group what your doing and they can help you to succeed.

You want about 2 gal for every 12" of height is what I’ve read. But a lot of people will use 3 gal if running coco, or another soiless medium.
As for the grow light. I would say around 250w should do 3 plants pretty well. That will flower ~8sqft pretty nicely. Giving each plant about 2x2 space. that should be plenty.
