Best CFL grower evar!

Keep up the posts. I'm starting a grow right now too in some rubbermaid tubs. Best of luck to ya, and hopefully we'll be proud parents in the near future ;)

I just wanted to let you know that you are my inspiration for growing. I really hope my rubbermaid grow works out. I want to try the SOG method that you're rocking, but I feel too new. Some of your threads are so long and hard to parse information out of but I keep reading them and hoping I...

I wasn't planning on a ScrOG, but its still an option I suppose. Right now there are about 10-12 sprouts turning up, so things are looking good there :) I have a total of 16 lights that will be added over time for a 25,000 lumen / 384 watt setup. It got late last night so I only rigged up...

Good call, I'll pick one up today. Also, I'm back to the question of to veg or not to veg. I'm going to veg on 24hr light until the boxes are complete, but after that should I try to flower right away? If I do flower would I want to try LST or topping or just letting the buggers go and...

Well, after three trips to walmart, two trips to home depot, a trip to radio shack, and a local grow supply shop we got everything we needed and actually got some stuff built. Here are some pics. We still need to finish the exhaust system and add some more mylar to a few places and she'll be...

Yah, we've run in to some trouble already. Two cans of white spray paint weren't enough to keep light from escaping our tubs. We're going to buy mylar today and cover the inside. We also had a lighting fudge and had to redesign our lighting system. Now we're going to have sixteen 23 watt...

I think thats what we determined last night at the store and how we figured out the difference between the serial numbers.

No, the ballast is built on to the bulbs -- I've linked a photo of what I mean. The area with the writing on it is the ballast and where you should be able to find the serial. http://www.gizmosforgeeks.com/wordpress/uploads/2007/12/1112997360823_215x215.jpg Edit: As for the lumens, my 24...

I actually was trying to figure out the same thing last night. With the GE bulbs there is a serial number at the bottom, if it ends with a D its daylight, if it ends with SW its a soft white. Unfortunately Walmart doesn't give this information on the site, nor does it show in the photo. My...

Not to sound too noobish, but what does DWT mean? I looked in the noob section dictionary but didn't find anything. As for the LST, what exactly are you doing? I was considering going to 12/12 when they hit 3ish inches high or flowering from seed in small cups to try to get the same results...

You'll want soft white and daylight CFLs. The daylights are for vegging, and the soft whites are for flowering. I bought some last night at walmart for $6 for a 4 pack of soft whites and $6 for a two pack of daylight. What is your setup going to be? Edit: Each of the bulbs I bought puts out...

Hey all, I've been lurking around here for a while without posting, but I think its finally time to post ;) Last night I ran out and bought some stuff for a rubbermaid CFL grow. I have a setup with two 49 gal tubs and 250ish watts of CFL power for a total of 6,400 lumens of soft white, and...
