Hello hello!
I was wondering if anyone could kindly give me tips on what type of lights to purchase from Wal-Mart. I know, it sounds generic, but that's my only option at the moment.
I went with the intention of buying a florescent light the other day, but was hurried while in the store and wound up buying this "Plant Light" that turned out to be a one of those little lights with a stake that you put in your flower beds to illuminate them at night and, I assume, make them pretty. Waste of 15$ if you ask me, but anyway...
I'm going to take it back tomorrow and exchange it for something a little bit better suited to my purpose.
They had some "Under Counter" plug-in flourescent lights decently cheap - the 6-7 dollar range. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Would that be good? How many would I need?
My grow-room is a closet, about 3' x 4' and 12' high. I put tin foil on the walls, which I've read is not good, but that little light I have is putting out hardly anything for light and I wanted some reflection until I can get something better.
I germinated my seeds about three days ago and planted on Friday in 5 gallon containers. I don't remember the brand of soil I used, but it contained plenty of food and nutrients. I've been putting my planters on the porch during the last couple of days so that they can benefit from the sun until sprouting. Checked this morning and nothing, but this evening when I brought them back indoors two of them had sprouted so I REALLY need to get a move on with proper lighting.
So, I have a budget of 15$ when I return the garden light I bought. It's not much, I know, but I need suggestions for a temporary fix until I can get something a wee bit better.
I tried to grow last year, but my ex husband's cat had other plans and every time I would get a sprout he'd eat them. That's why his nickname was "Stoner Bear", but anyway...That's a bit off topic.
Even if I'm not growing good ganja, I want to succeed in growing SOMETHING this time around. I'm using bag seed from a decent pot I recently got. Not the best in the world, but it was free seed so I'm not complaining.
Anyway, with that in mind...Any Wal-Mart lighting experts out there? Lol.
And PLEASE be specific...I can't stress that enough. Some of the jargon is still new to me so there's a chance I won't know what you're talking about right off, I'd just really appreciate not having to go on an internet goose chase to find out exactly what you mean when it comes to lighting.
Thanks a bunch!
