Will this light work?

[buddy32]

Hey,

I am planning on growing outside, but everyone has stated that i should start off inside. I have a big chest that is empty and was gonna throw this light in there just to start them off, then move them outside. Just wanna make sure this would work.

not trying to be rude bro but you'd need to hook up about 10 of those for 2 good plants, that's expensive compared to one HID i don't think one will cut it lol. i saw one dude with one of those in a dixie cup reflector. his plant was so tiny... wtf?

no you can start them off with just 2 of thos CFLs
depending on how many you are gonna grow...
i have 2 plants right now growin off 1 23 W CFL each (still in veg) and there doin GREAT!~
i even started both under 2 13 W CFLs...
so yes it is possible to start them out with small Watt CFLs...just get em outside soon after...(i would say start them in a gallon bucket for about 2-3 weeks after germ) them move em outside

haha yeah why pay money to start inside when you have a 10,000 watt duel MH and HPS "light" that hangs in the sky and is free. GROW OUTSIDE!!!!

 

[indianaman]

or have indoor and outdoor like i plan. indoor taken care of is always better i heard.

 

[richslayerbc08]

haha good point....but personaly i think it would be easier to start it indoors...kinda of like..strenght training...and that way you know its gonna grow..
or at least know its growin before you put it outside..

 

[indianaman]

true that. or plant clones.

 

[richslayerbc08]

if its possible thats probly the best way...keep mum all tidy up indoors while the clones go outside to play...but from what it sounds like this dude dont have the space or the room or the lights to keep a mum plant

 

[indianaman]

start fem seeds in your window sill in dixie cups for a week or so then plant outside...
