What up yall! Im kinda living in an area where garden shops dont exist.. I know its probably hard to believe..
Well I will tell ya now, just getting seeds was no easy task, since actual marijuana is non existant.. There is some hash around, if you are lucky. I knew this ahead of time, so I was able to bring some seeds from back home with me.. I cant really find any place here that even has worth while garden supplies.. Even if I wanted to get some HIDs, I think I would have to mail order.. The language barrier sure dont help, to find the exact things Im looking for when it comes to gardening.. There are some hardware stores around but I have seen better garden sections at a super Walmart..LOL now that pretty damn bad..
Anyways I was lucky enough to find some 75 watt CFLs.. BUT I could only find them in the redish spectrum, about 2800K I believe... I couldnt find any in the blue spectrum.. There was some in the very far blue spectrum.. Like in the 6000K.. Would them work ok for veg. growth? To me I wouldnt think so...
I was even looking at the regular flors, but they were alll in the very far blue spectrum..
I have read else where on the forum, that alot, or some have had good results just from the "soft white" CLFs.. Im wanting to get atleast 4, which would give me about 300 watts..
Would this be enough, and about how many plants could I expect to grow with the best results?
Im personaly hoping to grow atleast 4-6 plants, and anywhere from 2-4 foot, if possible...
Now soil, and fertilizer are going to be hard to come by.. Well fertilizer more then soil.. I found a "organic" soil.. Im sure it will due.. Im thinking its pure potting soil, with nothing added... All the fertilizer I see, seems to not be in english.. Only think I can read is the n-p-k.. Which is good enough to know atleast..
BUT Im hoping to use organics, which at first glance these dont look organic... Finding wormcastings, or wood ash, or anything else you can find at you're local grow shop, isnt going to be found here..
I have asked around, and everyone tell me to goto the same place.. Which is the place Im talking about in the first place..
Its just a hardware shop kinda like HQ, or Home Depot.. ONLY not as good..LOL It really sucks..
Im looking on ebay, and hoping I can get somethings there..
Like clone solution, and superthrive. Which Im also wondering, I found a B1 vit. bottle of solution here, but Im really sure that superthrive is far better..
If I remember right, its not just B1, and has alot of extra goodness.. I have used it in past gardens, back home.. So Im not a total noob at growing.. Its been many years, and that was an outside garden.. So this IS my first indoor garden.. I do plan on cloning, as long as some of the seeds turn out to be worthy.. Really its my only hope, cause Im limited on seeds.. Guess I kinda railed off into leftfield as far as my lights go..
So any suggestions?
Also would a 6500K clf br good enough for veg growth? I though it might be too far in the blue, but I would like to know what everyone else thinks.. If they would work, then any suggestions on the blue/red ratio I should try..
For now I think Im only going to get 4 maybe 5, 75 watt bulbs, as I said Im hoping to get 4-6 plants around 2-4 ft tall.. Would this be enough light?
