any help is appreciated

Check this site out SH Hydroponics > Dual Spectrum High Output Fluorescent Lighting Kit . Keep in mind the cool white or blue spectrum are for vegatative growth and the warm white red spectrum bulbs are for flowering.

nice linkl thnx. Also the first link from home depot are close to what I have. i got mine from home depot. go look in the lighting section and they have these Otto brand natural sunlight grow lights. Made by a Dr. Otto hence the name. They work great and they dont get too hot.

good luck

I went to walmart, and home depot and I asked several diffrent people were I could get CFL lights and they didnt know. basically I couldnt find anyone to help me.

try this place. http://www.1000bulbs.com/category.php?category=2086
this is where I get my bulbs. Its the same thing as the Stealth hydro bulbs only cheaper. go with the 85 and 105 watt bulbs but remember they are medium base so they won't fit in your average lamp socket. if you need socket enlargers/reducers try here. http://www.mylampparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=537_722_723&products_id=2982

this is where I get all of my stuff. Its the cheapest.

alright so I planted the seed yesterday. and I put one 17W OTT-Lite on it. and its has alredy grown about half an inch in about 18 hours. so..... is that pretty good.

OTT-Lite


thats a link to the light that I am using...

you guys know if its a cool white blue spectrum or a warm white red spectrum bulb

I'm assuming its a cool white or blue spectrum.

do they have warm white red spectrum CFL lights? or are the CFL lights all cool white blue spectrum??

I was thinking about getting 2 of these lights

42W bulb

and returning the one I have. what do you guys think?

and that is a cool white blue spectrum, right?

42's are weak dude. maybe for one plant it will work, but the more light the better. I would get higher wattage.

right now, I am just growing one plant.. this is my first time even attempting to grow as you can tell. so I am just figuring everything out.

thanks for all the help guys.

I currently have 1 OTT-Lite 17W

1 42W CFL

and

1 Warm white bright stik at 34W

would this last one give out warm white red spectrum?

decent? not good enough? remember this is just for one plant

I just bought 3 100 watt spiraly CFL lights is this sufficient for a 5x5x3 grow space? If not what else should i buy... from home depot?
