how many lights do you use?

[ms.weed]

I keep hearing use 400w. Or 600w are there light bulbs with that kind of wattage or are you supposed to use alot of 100w & 75w if there are bulbs w/ really high wattage where do you buy them also I have a bathroom heat lamp its 250w isotope OK to use here is a pic of the light I'm already using the the other one but is the heat lamp 250 OK to use

 

[Kite High]

no they are not ok to use

what you are seeking is 400 watt (dependent on size of grow space) HID

before you go to buy any lamps i suggest you do some research(quite alot in your case)

You do NOT want a heat lamp. You can grow with normal CFL spirals or tubes (t5, t. You need to make sure you get the right spectrum. I run 14 23w cfl. In veg I go 75% 6500k (bright daylight) and 25% 2700k (soft white). Vice versa for flower. The more lights the better and remember that you need to keep them as close the plants as possible.

spend a day on this site researching and then ask the questions that remain.

Yes you want cool white for the veg state,buts its always best to have a full spectrum like grown dad said.

This is a very vague question again,tell us what kind of bulb it is,spiral fluorescent(CFL),LED,or something else?
Do what growindad suggested

If you are talking about the shit they market as grow lights - incandecents- they are not worth a damn unless you are trying to keep a normal house plant alive.

I use two 18" T5s(6500K), one 36" T5(6500K), and 8-10 32W CFLs(6500K in veg, mixture of 6500K/5000K/2700K in flower). Switching it up for my second time around, the T5s are all supplementary and I'll have 8 overhead 32W CFLs with a bunch of 23W CFLs around and inbetween the girls(position is size/training dependant), this will be in a 1m^3 box with b&w poly walls.
