gotcha. I currently have 2x23w cfls on my one week old youngin. I plan on adding a third bulb, 43 watt beginning of week 4 or 5. He has 13 of them and putting right about 2200 +\- EACH. Give or take 32,000 lumens for 6 plants. For two plant I would say 4 of the 43 watters would be fine.

Growing outdoors is the natural way to grow weed. Put it outside and let mother nature do her thing! sun>artificial light

Mylar is your friend when it comes to reflecting material. OR you can use good ol foil to line the inside. You want to total your lumens from around 30,000-40/42,000 lumens. This is ideal for that many plants, you may need to add another one or two...just depends. You will have to have good...

Sorry if I misread, stoned :joint:.. For 14 seedlings i would go around, atleast, a dozen or more. More light the better, you can NEVER have too much light, just gotta know how to use it. As far LEDs, leave em alone...not worth it imho. Use 'daylight' 6500k cfl's for the whole veg period...

must be extremely nice to have privacy, I dont even remember what the heck that is. I agree with the above said, you need to read up on your homework bro before jumping in with both feet, yuo will eventually drown. UNLESS you got the money to spend to use trial and error. reading is...

Thanks man, and same to you! :joint:

kool. I will for sure:D

you can...i would do prolly 6-7 if anything bigger than 43 watt.. Look through the CFL Growing board under the indoor grow section, LOTS of information there. You can see what others are doing and get a general idea of what is required.. This is my first year of using cfl's and only have...

cfl's all the way man..you wont regret it!! Do some searching here on the site, if you havent already. CFL's are supposively better on electric cost and better for the plant, imo. The two pack I got was under $8 for both including taxes. So far I have a complete grow box in the correct manner...

temporarily have a piece of white plastic over the front til I can find something else to replace it. I am thinking about a piece of fiberboard and cover it with some more mylar and attach it with henges and a sliding lock? thoughts? I hope to see some good improvements, growth wise and what...

I just started my cfl conversion today. Went from floro to cfl in a matter of 2 hours(including a decent built grow box). Can't wait!:D :joint:

another update!:D Looking good so far, grow box that is. I ran across an old dresser drawer that was gutted out(no drawers, drawer braces removed) and turned it into a make shift grow box. It is perfect and for some reason it had a 5x13" cut out with a tight weaved screen nailed over it, I...

Update: Went and got the new cfl's today:D Will be using two 26w 6500k Daylight bulbs for this one plant, will add more as I go on and eventually reduce it down to the two bulbs and add a couple 2700k closer to flowering.

I am working with around 1.5-2 sq ft with TWO 6500k 26 watters for now until I get further along into veg. After about the 4th-5th week of veg I will switch to a higher wattage. These(2 x 26w) will put out right around ~3200 lumens for the one plant. edIT: These are the ones you want...

Answer me this...WHY, would say, an off duty cop being looking at Marjiuana forums and pictures in the first place? I plead the 5th your honor, thank you have a good day.:)

switching to cfl's today!:D

I honestly had to 'LOL'. Like said, they have more important thing to worry about then a John Doe growing a couple plants in his basement or back yard. Think smart, dont let it out to ANYONE! Keep it to yourself and you shall be deemed a well worthy wait for smokage. Hence why I dont smoke...

Erysichthon, i am glad to see you say that about the floros. I got one 400w T5 on my youngin right now...I never paid much attention to the light bill, i just know it gets paid monthly lol! so not much of a difference eh?

nice! Very interesting read. I hope mine come out as little ladies. If not I may have to try it on a male(if there is any, crosses fingers and hopes not). Looking for to future updates!!

anyone else have any comments so far? bongsmilie
