I think he meant 10,000K color temperature. They do make bulbs that I saw on this website with aquarium supplies that were called "Deep Purple" and had an advertised color temp of 9800k. Though, I don't see how that would benefit your overall balance of growing in veg. Yeah, you want a majority...

Bump... can I get an answer to my last question please? Thanks guys. bongsmilie

Alright yall get ready for some updates... I transformed my grow room so now I have two sheets in front of the closet that has mylar behind the door. Standing inside my grow room, I can't even see my hand a foot in front of my face. I added four 26w CFLs on homemade clamp reflectors. Also added...

Here is a sketch that I made of the setup I was planning on having... The crescent shapes near the bottom are clamp reflectors with Y-connecters and 2x26w CFLs (one 6500k, one 2700k) in each reflector. So one 150w HPS, 4 52w reflectors... should be around 25,000 lumens eh? Lemme know what you...

Well, after looking at some various pictures about how a few other 150W HPS grows turned out phenomenal, and I was having a conversation about lighting with one of my buddies who's starting to grow as well, I couldn't resist... Went for the 150W HPS system for 69.99; seemed pretty legit as it...

It's funny you mention that actually. I'm sitting here writing a speech for a class on energy consumption actually, and I was thinking about how if I used a 150W HPS and some surrounding CFL's just for supporting light, I'd end up using 150-200 less watts and get the same amount of light. So, a...

Cool I'll look around for it, thanks for the advice so far. I'll be uploadin some new pics in a couple days of the ladies in development. As far as light fixtures go, is there any supplier that carries light bulb sockets already wired with the plug and all? Otherwise I was just gonna get clamp...

So basically, as long as I give my plants somewhat intense light all around and don't just concentrate my light at the top, I can grow it to a few feet? Not saying I am going to do this, just wondering; I would much rather have healthy lush 20-24inch plants than some 3 footers that are barely...

Oh and in addition to the last post, I also wanted to ask... Since the previous person recommended I don't grow my plants too tall, and I have my plants in 8 inch pots (equal to a little over a gallon) right now, do I still need to transplant the plants to these 3 gallon pots that I bought? I...

I kinda had a feeling about that actually. Would it be better to light the undersides of the leaves? Like, have the reflectors on the floor pointing up? My plants are all around 8-9 inches right now, so should I switch to 12/12 once they're like 14 inches or so? I figure that way, they would...

I'm actually planning on putting in between eight to twelve 26w 2700k bulbs relatively soon to balance out the spectrum for a couple weeks before I start flowering. They'll be in clamp reflectors with Y-socket-adapters above and to the side of the plants, pointing slightly diagonally downward...

What's goin on yall? I've only posted here a couple times regarding some lighting questions but I figured I'd make my own thread for my grow and ask all of you seasoned growers for your wisdom along the way. Setup: 2 x 105watt 6500k CFLs under a 2foot reflector made from dryer venting. Each...

It says 400w equivalent on the box. I think I'm gonna implement six 42 watt (150w equivalent) 2700k bulbs in a couple weeks before I start flowering. Oh, and I was thinking about starting flowering once the girls are around 12 inches - good idea? I'd prefer to have them be between 1.5 and 2.5...

Right now I have three plants that I planted from seed on Jan 30th. I'm using a homemade reflector with two CFL 105w 6500k bulbs. Since my plants are only a few inches tall, I only have a light above them right now. However, I know that when they get taller, I may need to get more light to the...
