I have 380watts right now of cfl and they are about 1-2" away and my temps are 80. You need to get a bigger exhaust to push more out. Also try putting a bowl of ice cubes. It will lower your temps and raise your humidity

Never spray water on the plants it can burn the leaves once the light and heat hit it. The cfl equivalent is a wattage you need to forget. If its 23w cfl and it's 100w equivalent it's only 23w. You only have 200w not 1600. It's fine for vegging but depending on how many plants yu have, I would...

look at this monster!300w cfl only issue is it doesnt fint in my hood the greatest. my hood fits up to 250w and i didnt know that. it works with it but it sags a bit. i am affraid it might snap the E39 mogul base off the hood. it is friggin bright! this plus 8 40w 2700k will give me 570w for...

ithink i figured it out. it was under watering. doing much better now.how i found this out was i looked online and i stumbled upon a thread that said, if just the plants leaves are droopy then it usually over watering. if the plant leaves and stems are droopy its underwatering. my leaves were...

Any help at all?

last night my big plant started to droop all the way down.i have no idea why.the soil wasnt bone dry but i added some water anyway and still droopy. i dont know what to do. its too early for nutes. the only thing i did was add some soil to fill the rest of the pot up. any ideas why its doing...

Well they don't have much. Go to lowes, they have 40watt cfl's and grab a bunch like 4 for now. Get daylight 6500k

need pics for people to assist you, and how may plants for 6 bulbs?how big the cabinet? i would put a intake at the bottom and a exhaust at the top. . pushes the hot air up and out it goes. my temps dont go above78 right now iwth 300 watts

move those lights closer and put them horizontal for more lumens and light penetration and full potential of cfls. your wasting energy. this was the oldersetup i had. i changed it for the better but you get the idea.

nicely done. i have a similar setup i have two plants soon to be 3. i changed my setup a bit so it doesnt look exactly like this anymore but you get the idea. hope mine turn out as good as yours. next grow i will replace the foil with mylar.

If u have attic access in your closet thats the easiest way to vent the exhaust I think

Thats it Bingo!

i think these pumps would work. i use them for pools to suck chemical out of bins and into the pool water. they are expensive but i get them for $250. retial is prob around 380-425$ they work great. the smaller ones go from .2gallons to 30gallons a day. they drip slowly ...

no need to cut a hole in the wall for something as small as yours. just make sure the exhaust exits up into the air or out of the room here is what i did. i got a peice of 90 deg roffing elbow and it pushes the air out of my closet. before i pushed the air up my ceilings are 10ft in my closet...

15" vegged? or flowered?

that being said go get a HPS setup for $250-$300. i have ac pumped as well into the closet wish i had a HPS setup.

remember the heat. those spirals give of a lot of heat with minimal light. general rule of thumb is 6 cfls spirals per plant if not more. if you have 4 plants thats 16 bulbs... with the bigger bulbs you use less and control heat better. just a suggestion. alos a rule of thumb is 80watts -100w...

order a bunch of these http://www.lightbulbsurplus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=622_7_80_123&products_id=249. id say order 3 300w 6500k's and 3 300w 2700 for blooming. or by pass all that and spend less on a HPS setup. also these dont use a regular wall oullet. uses a mogul E39...

i decided to feed the runt plant with 12-5-4. i planted two more seeds in the mean time so if it dies i have two back ups. i was going to pull it but i decided to just try and add some nutes too it. it will probably kill it. i added very little, we will see what happens.

if u have a lowes by you they have 40-46w 6500k anhd 2700k those would do a lot better. also if you can grab one of these setups http://www.sunlightsupply.com/p-12131-sun-system-garden-bright-fluorescent-grow-light.aspx or this...
