change ur schedule to 12/12 to get the plant to show u its sex

yea 60 watt lights, but wat kind of lights? incandescents, fluro's? and do u know the k colour spectrum of the lights? (thats if its not an incandescent light)

 

[Smokey.Mc.Pot]

im gonna guess that ur using normal 60 watt houselights? thats not good for growing. im not gonna say it doesnt work cos if u chek out my thread ull see it does, buuut if u want good buds get a bunch of cfls that say 2700k on the package. get the cfls in the highest wattage you can find. about 4 should be great. and u do know that when u change to 12/12 that the plant will probably double in size!

yes m8 the are just normal house lights wer can i get the lights ur talking about thanx again ican u get them for normal house lamp thats what im usein i took the apart and are the push in bulbs

u can get em anywere, im from aus and they sell em everywere, ive heard of people on here gettin them at lowes and shit, dunno wat lowes is but u wopuld probably, and walmart and target and shit, anywere u would get normal lights. just make sure u get lights that have the same socket thing as the lights ur usin now so u can plug em into wat ur already usin, but make sure there 2700k for flowering, and wen ur flowering make sure they have 12 hours of light, and 12 hours of COMPLETE darkness, so yea.. when u wanna flower just wak em under 12/12. good luck!

hahaha, and i forgot to tell u wat the lights r called :] cfl's
there just the energy saver bulbs, u know?
there not the best lights, but heaps of people use them cos there cheaper then a $300 hps set up. theres a hole sub forum on cfl's on here in the indoor section, u should really check it out.
