It depends. The grow light i use is an AC Infinity Ionframe that can go up to 280w panel and usually grow two plants with it but that’s quite a bit of overkill so I have it turned down to maybe about 150w.
But I’m not running a grow op or anything, I just have a little 4’x4’ grow tent for personal use. But if you were running a grow op you’d have maybe 10-12 plants and they’d be much bigger so you’d need more lighting per plant as well.
It’s not an unimaginable amount of heat but it’s definitely something you have to keep in mind. At home I have a little 3" duct running all the time to cycle fresh and cooler air into the tent to keep from cooking the plants. And at work (I work at a legal weed company) we have a couple people whos entire job is just managing the climate controls to keep temps, humidity, even air pressure within spec.
