about cfls need help...???

[.:Karma:. o.O]

how much lumens does a 27 watt cfl put out and would it hurt mah plant to use about 12 at the same time...???ina box about 4 by 2 1/2??? ima beginner at indoor and no i cant afford anyhting like mh or hps:wtf:

[the yeag]

12 is a perfect number for two plants...half 6500k and 3500k...as far as the lumens its on the package....you will need to watch your temps in a box that small....make sure your fan is bringing in air and exhausting.

A bought my hps for £18 off ebay + £10 p&p. Very big investment. I doubt your cfls cost less than that?

ooo they r free from work soo i have plenty kuzz i own my bussiness but that would be what about 20 usd and the thing is i dont have a ballast for hps unless i can find some that fit regular outlets...

[stone_sensation]

You can buy hps already assembled :) Maybe invest in it at the end of vegging?

ooo post a link to the cheapest place you know to buy it from and what if i used a black light...??? i have a cuple like 6 inch 1s...??? and i now have 8 outlets in my box and will get 3 more cfls asap...

blacklight should only be used as supplemental lighting...for more uvb rays meaning more trich production and calcium absorbtion.
I'm not really sure if all this is true, just what I have read.

Yes, but don't count them as your main lighting. Can't hurt, post any found results...please. Watering: check for moisture approx. knuckle deep...If completely dry water until at least ten percent runoff is reached (and in decent condition, ie clear good ph).

Hope that helps....

I'm not really sure what you just said, I must be getting too old, yes I have the ever so dreadful bday coming up,....but it read like you are watering too much..
keeping them too wet can be the cause of problerms. Re read my post I am only being helpful.

Good Luck

oo i dont get what your saying but ill try to water them as needed if someone would tell me how much i should...lol and no offense man ur only tryin to help...

[Bree1978]

woman, water them only when you stick your finger in all the way (yes sounds kinda kinky sorry) and it's DRY -now it sounds like a turnoff but whatever- only then do you water. The amount is dictated by the runoff. You want 10 percent approx. It's a cycle...dry as frick, water heavily for 10 percent saturated runoff..Repeat with nutes occasionally as needed.
