Alright lads thinking bout bringing in my runt plant I have in the greenhouse I've a wardrobe that would be ideal gonna try cfls couple questions would I need to change the soil? How many cfls would do for the one plant and what other essentials would I need, felling sorry for it plus it would get me wet under the colar with indoor growing
as many watts as you can afford really, being small you can start off with one bulb with a decent wattage, these can be got at any electrical wholesalers etc, and work your way up..... its handy to wire three or four to a single plug so say 100 actual watts but that could be 250watts equivilant...

i`ve two hoods i made and one is 250 actual watts cfl and wired to one plug, with 13a fuse, its drawing about 5a across the fuse so no bother and easier that loads of wires etc to deal with............

yeah you will defo need a circulating fan, if you can drill a few holes for passive heat escape your on a winner if you can`t drill the holes then don`t worry just means your limited to the amount of heat in there so amount of bulbs .....

Can't drill holes its one them built in wardrobes with sliding doors I'm sure I could slide it a bit if the heat gets to much it's fairly big space I have a fan and a thermometer there I'll pick up few cfls see how I get on

thats the best thing to do, just crack on and see what you need, you can always leave the door open a shade if you had too..

himym finale!waaaaaaa!
Not falling for this ! That'll be one of those Irish things where you kid the daft tourists ( Usually Scottish or English ) to say this when downing a pint of Guinness telling them that it means '' Good health '' in Gaellic. When in actual fact it means '' Kiss My Arse '' and youse all sit sniggering in the corner.

Anyway, we usually only do that to the Americans.
