I am growing 7 plants in a tight 3x3x6 tent.

I am currently on day 46 (>6 weeks)

My plants are looking better today and I topped off the pots with fox farm ocean forest soil. I killed one of the plants like a murderer.

I have decided to clone with rooting gel and starter cubes. I wanted to setup a clone room to take cuttings and determine their sex. I wanted to screw in the best cfl bulb I can purchase into a regular socket (running on a timer switch) and flower the cuttings in 14 days to determine their sex on top of a water heater.

I am willing to add reflective Mylar on the walls and that's about it.

Do you think that could work?

If so, what kind of CFL bulb do you recommend?

A 13 watt CFL covers seedlings. Do you intend to use a dome reflector?

definitely popping the globe off. Planning on adding a timer switch for 12/12 lighting. What light color would you recommend or wattage for an application like this?

I have a mixture of 3000k,6500k,3500k,2700k. I think I have a 4000k tossed in there too. 9 watters(the cheapest)A pack of four is about $6.00 There is a threat on I C mag ...SILs (Screw in LEDs) has all the info you want.

25-30 watts a square foot for veg will suffice. More if you want faster veg growth.

what other forums would you recommend in order to get advice on indoor cannabis grows?

This one is a good resource. I only offered up the other site because they have a thread specific to screw in LEDs.

There are some great indoor growers here. You just have to go into the indoor section and sift thru it.
