Hello this is my first post
I have asked the same question on another forum but no one has answered inthe last few days (not even to tell me to give up)
I live in a flat above my mates shop he will not charge me any electric money only very cheap rent is all i pay I help him out big time though on lots of things I have changed all house bulbs to low wattage and changed my fish tank to cold water and a few other energy saving things and i have worked out I have 200 watts only #
Is it possible to do a grow even a single plant
I can buy some low wattage lights but which are the best for these unusial set of growing conditions #
I have a 125 wat enviorolight but I dont need to use it if there are better alternatives
My pal knows I smoke but it would be akward if he found out I grew a little
Any thoughts chaps? I would apreciate any guidance thanks a lot

Should be able to. With one plant use 50 to 100 watts for light and you'll have plenty left over for a small fan to circulate.

Ya you could definately grow enough for personell smoke on 200 watts
make like a 2x4x4 grow area(most closets) 4 lamp T5 fixture it runs a 216 watts use the 6500 grow bulbs for veg and switch out too the 3000k bloom bulbs. check the HTGsupply guy for good prices

Thanks for the replys I do apreciate them this is THE friendly forum
So I stand a chance i have had some excellent news today another pal who has grown a bit in his time has for me 2 just cloned femails which he is going to give me on thursday I am not sure what type they and will find out then
I am having good vibes
I have a small sunbed that some one has given me ages ago and it is horded in my garage could i take the bulbs out and put some t5,s in there are some good reflectores on it, Has anyone used something like this
I live in the UK so although the link was for the USA the info is there to devour
I am fairly practical and dont have a lot of spare cash at the moment I also have a few grolux bulbs of an old fishtank set in a hood with a reflector are grolux any good or is the wavelength way out cheers
