Hi. I was wondering is it possible to use a battery for a lamp. its 1 lamp and its gone be fluorescent lamp 23 watt 1600 lumens and i think its 120 volt. I wna hide my grow box but if theres a wire from the socket going somewhere i might get caught. im using that lamp for 1 plant and might change it when and if i get to flowering stage. if its not possible tell me of some ways i can replace the battery with something else like i dont kno something that doesnt go into the socket and is possible to obtain for a teenager. thanks
can i use batteries to power up my 1 light?

well pretty much I'm not doubting you. just the equipment you need is expensive unless you can find a R.V. salvage yard and tell them you want to power a computer off a battery for a science fair. and get the parts you need, a R.V. has inverters and stuff like that.

yes you can run it off of a car battery.. but car batteries are dc power and your light is ac power which means the only way it would work is if you buy a dc converter... thats not nerely enough light though bro...probably could be done but wouldnt be worth the time because alls you gonna get is maybe...maybe a 1/4 oz......good luck either way...
whoah.. if thats the only way then obviosly my grow space is limited to being near a socket..i was just thinking take some random wire attack it to a battery and attach the other end of it to the lamp(in proper places) so its like theres a power source it shud work.

bro for serious.
if you really wanna do it, DO IT RIGHT!
i dont give a shit if you wanna grow in your mom's house, in fact i say go for it! but don't get caught.
you are a teenager so you will be sloppy, you will make a mistake and you will get caught by your mom no matter how discreet you try to be, i'd bet a rather large sum of money on it.
but if you're gonna get caught you might as well grow a smokable quantiy of bud. seriously a 23 watt light may not actually support a plant through flowering, like not only will you maybe get enough bud for ONE or TWO shitty bowls tops but the plant will probably just die.
now let's look at this practically.
there are ways to do this stealthily, i am a grown ass man and i still have to hide my grow (i have roommates and i live in an apt so i have to be discreet when the pest control guy comes to spray and for apt inspections etc.) so i took apart a dresser and sealed it up added an HPS light and ventilation.
check through the site check the areas on how to build a stealth grow box you can take just a rubbermaid tub like you would use to store stuff put 4-6 of those 23w cfl's in there with a little ventilation and some mylar and you can grow a plant or two no problem. actually a grower on this site uses three large rubbermaid tubs stacked together with 6 x 42 watt CFL's and he pulls out 4 oz's a harvest.
just get a simple stealthy box that you can put in your closet and throw some clothes over that your mom won't be suspicious of, make it light sealed and low noise.
all you need is soil water light, and patience. just remember that the plant is going to get a minimum of 1 or 2 ft tall, and that's if you start flowering after a week or two. you can prune it to make it shorter and bushier as well. that's the cool thing about cannabis, you can grow it really stealthy if you are creative.
you probably aren't creative, you probably won't listen to any of this because you're a kid. who cares, what i tell you is true, do what i say.
oh and BTW dont' tell ANYONE about your grow. you've probably already told your 3 or 4 pot smoking buddies about it. loose lips sink ships.

cant you just 100% light seal when your growing in, and get a hps or somthing?
run wires through the bottom of whatever your growing in through the carpet, if you have hard wood or tiles then idk lol
im doing steal shit in my closet run all wires through carpet, and sealed it 100% light, doing decent

takes 2 pages for som1 to take me srsly. thx. ye u can nevar kno if im creative or not. thx for the info it rly helped.ppl keep telling me oh the light isnt not good enuff too shitty and such but u gave me an example so now i get it. im defenetly gona grow it and i hav a pretty good chance w it i kno it. thx
also i wrote in the begining that i might change the light later on in flowering stage. i was gona check it out and see which light i need but now i dont hav to. thx(x3?)also i got a question. in a square foot there needs to be somewhere around 3000 lumens, so if i make a small box (15cm by 20cm) thats like about half a square foot wudnt it be ok to use 1 1600 lumens florecent bulb? if 1 isnt enuff then fine 2, but thats like extra isnt it? the box is around 35 cm tall. please halp. THX
You know absolutely nothing about electricity or its inherent dangers as your own post proves. Do not attempt to make your light work off a battery, it will not ever work without a power inverter, period. You are a kid who thinks he can grow huge amounts of ganja with a 23 watt bulb? You'll be lucky to get a plant to the flowering stage. Please do provide pics of this awesome setup so that we may all learn from you.
Educate yourself! No One here is going to hold your hand all the way, you have to put some effort into this yourself.
whoah u suck. y r u so impolite??? what did i do to u?? damn ppl.If u cant answer a question dont say anything. post a reply saying 'nothing". damn.
Im not being a dick bro, but its fucking obvious from your post where you thought you could just take "random" wires and hook it all up to a battery and grow Pounds of pot with 1 bulb, that you don't know even the very basics of electricity. Im only looking out for your safety. don't want the headlines to read" 15 year old electrocutes self and burns parents home down killing 4, news at 11". Not that your going to get killed from a battery, but the inverter could sure fuck you up.
