thats funny shit dude.

hey picasso check this shit,some ppl were runnin there mouth and actin like a tuffy

stupid shit

ok thanks ill look at them. is there an easy way to use 3 or more at a time other than multiple lamps

use those y adapters,theyre $1.50 at walmart

how many lights do u think i would need to grow 3-5 plants?

prob 2doz 27w cfls should do the job

do they have any higher watt bulbs? and is there any specific kind of cfl's i should get

higher wattage u got to buy online or at a growshop get a bulb wit 6500k for vegin

Yep, they get bigger. You can read all about the cfl: GROWFAQ

Good luck!

alright. i was reading the forums and it says u need 12/12 for the plants to flower. does that mean i should continue to grow the plants indoors since the lighting isnt going to be 12/12 outdoors

Yes, you need to copy the short days of fall when the plant's flowers are at their peak. So unless you want to wait for fall, do it indoors on your timetable.

Your probably lookin at around like $50 ish range, Or atleast thats how much 2 dozen cfls plus the y adaptors would cost around here. roughly. But, i seriously reccomend however u set it up. ur probably gonna want reflectors. What they do is take the light and direct it where ever u want it 2 be directed at. This will increase your light efficency a shitload. You got any pics of them?? Or have they even came up yet?

i dont have any pictures yet im going to try and take some this week and put them up. some of them came up and have 2 little leaves on them

I'm in the UK so I don't know if this advice will apply to the US, but after paying around £80 for a 400w hps with digital ballast, I was more than a little bitter to hear from a friend that they had picked up a similar 1000w system at a police auction for less than £10 (paying cash and not having to provide ANY id or details at all). As there is nothing inherently illegal about a bulb/reflector/ballast itself, but they are frequently seized as part of cannabis busts, apparently such items are frequently auctioned off at ridiculously cheap prices. Might be worth looking into in your area if you are on a tight budget.

I wonder if the cops see the same things come through more than once, lol.

Lmao, yah. i bet they do. They probably sell them to put money in there own pockets though. So they probably dont care. Atleast that sounds like something a cop from the U.S. would do. I smell bacon is smell pork, run little piggy I got a fork
