so i know i updated last night and i even got half of my lights today.. but i had to destroy my plant. i didn't have to, but i still think it was a safe call. i woke up this morning and got the news from a roommate that there was a cop of some sort in a barely marked car just kind of hangin...

So the plant is 3 weeks today. I have successfully kept the growth down and so far it looks pretty healthy. i tried some low grade nutes on it and successfully saw how to burn a seedling, but since then it has been recovering and growing nicely. just planted in a 2 liter. from here i will...

i liked this idea and im going to put 6 of the low watt cfl bulbs hanging or reflecting up underneath the canopy, so ill make the area slightly wider for that room and include good circulation

And timer^

Just got this on ebay for 100 dollars..has mh and hps 250w bulbs reflector digital ballast and hangars.. i think this and a few supporting cfls will do nice especially for that.price. will post pics when i set up! thanks everyone

and since this really started because of budgeting issues ill go ahead and ask if someone knows that good spot to get a cheap priced system, ive seen combos with switchable ballasts so i want to try that route.

thanks for clearing that up, it makes SOOOO much more sense now. There is a lot of false information put out on forums. I have seen good CFL grows, but now I realize they have to make that a special concept because it's not anywhere near as effective so to do it well is tough. so i returned...

and do we calculate cfl grow by the wats they run at (in my case65) or the 150w it says a regular bulb would burn at..or should i just stick to lumen count? wish they could jack me into the matrix and load this stuff in my head lol

ok i like the way hps sounds but i have read everywhere for small indoor grows stick to cfl. and its only one plant (might start a second) but im using bagseed and just trying to learn how do this before i worry about a garden of clones.

and if it helps anyone to answer the question, I am growing in a jacuzzi tub, with other plants (hence why I'm focusing on the majority with my good plants :] tell me if im wrong here too..

i mean mogul plug in chord sorry, not ballast. and if anyone else wants to chime in... I'm think since I want to add another 65W (or larger) to maximize my light amount, maybe i should just upgrade to a complete fixture with a 200W in it? i wonder would that 200W penetrate as efficient as...

so i m doing my first indoor grow..at 2 weeks now..upgrading my lights to 65w (150) cfl daylights. i know calculations are correct for space (adding 1 more before flower) and cfls vs hps blah blah i know what mogul means my bulbs are mogul sized i know i need a ballast for each with...

hello and thanks to everyone..this forum seems full of great people!

unknowingly, when i took my first steps into indoor gardening did i know that i would find the hobby that could literally stamp my life without alcohol and cigarettes officially fullfilled. i wanted to introduce myself and show the first items in my indoor garden. no, they aren't all our...
