Fair enough.

The reason people keep repeating it though, is because by the time you go out and buy a few $20 CFLs, you've spent as much as a proper HID would've cost in the first place.

Thanks!
 
what kind of space are you working with? (Width X depth X height) and what kind of airflow do you have?
 
I'll post a pic of my grow space and my ac is blowing right on it to give it a breeze. I set the temp on my ac to 75 degrees and my ac automatically shuts off when it reaches above 75 degrees.
 
if you're trying to hone in your growing skills get a high output t5 at least. it will give you a better idea of how often you need to water and you can also practice training techs like LST and topping, loli popping shit like that. get a 2 foot 4 bulb t5

That should help a lot for temps. You will have to keep an eye on humidity when growing too, because of PM/mold on buds.

T5 is a type of fluorescent tube. If you have the space a MH/HPS is preferable

Yea I don't see any mold on the soil and I think I'll just go with some CFLS until I can get a MH/HPS.

Are LEDS any good? I have a 90 watt LED. What if I combine the 200 watt incandescent and the 90 watt LED

That will just keep it alive until it gets big. You'll need something bigger to grow decent buds. There are LEDs that are good for growing but they are much bigger and more expensive.

Mold on the soil is fine, but high humidity can lead to bud rot and PM on plants which is not fine:

Thats what I'm tryna do is keep it alive until it gets bigger because by that time I'll be able to get a MH/HPS.

Is pm the white spots on the leafs?
 
innerG said:
Yep. That's just one kind though. Bud rot, mold, botrytis, powdery mildew... all can look different and hit different parts of the plant.

Yoooo innerG.
Got a CFL today! Is this the kind?

Yep, that's a CFL! Can't see the color temp on there

One thing to remember when setting up CFLs is that they have to be reeeeeaally close to the plant to be efficient compared to other lights. They'll need to be adjusted as the plant grows
