Interesting. How many total watts?

Are you claimin this is your current grow?? cuz i gotta ask ya, why does the time stamp on your pics say april 2007??? did i just warp back in time when i clicked on your thread or what?? >.<

maybe it's just me but I would want my CFL's to be a little closer...

samezies ^

yea the date is wrong on my camera. and i am trying to figure a way of getting the cfls closer to the plant
thanks for comments

the total watage is around 90 i will probably get more powerfull cfls, but i got to say this thing is bright

haha! at night time when the house is all dark and shit my girl and i have to put sunglasses on to go in the room cuz the cfl's are so fuckin brite. we now keep two pairs outside the growroom door

bet its not a brite as my room is lol, theres now 20 in there lol

Ive read that its good to have at least 100 Actual Watts per plant.

until you see a 400 watt HPS making your apartment glow...i wouldnt mention the brightness of a cfl.....lol. or even a 1000 watt MH for that matter.

im kidding. i keep sunglasses outside my flower closet as well.
Wish i could tell ya the wattage for CFL growing. I heard it was as low as 40 watts a plant for small vegetative plants. but that was from an unreliable friend. lol.

lol, just hope santa laves some pressies and don't take 1 for him self lol

ha!! well see how good it works! i have seen some good grows with flouros, even start to finish. i know you dont get as much as you would with other lamps but for what im paying total i hope its worth it all

is the light fixture thingy made out of one of those alliminium baking dishes? because if so thats pretty clever i might give it a try
