Ok i am finally living on my own and growing the sweet mayjane! I have 2 growing rooms..... All together i have 6 plants. Kept seeds from a bag of some good weed. I had 15 plants growing but i only kept the healthiest looking 6 cuz i would need a shit load of lights to grow 15 properly. So far I have six CFL @ 2,000 lumens a peice and two one foot fl's @ 500lumens a peice. I have attache pics of my 2 growrooms and one of my plants.
That plant may looked strecthed but its really not. Really crappy camera and the angle makes the look stem look little and tall.
Right now i have two 150watt CFLS @ 8,600 lumens a peice on their way with ballasts. As soon as that comes in im putting all my plants in one growing space. For flowering im buying a 400w HPS with ballast. Something like 58k lumens. So six cfls @ 2,000 lumens a peice, two 1 foot fls @ 500 lumens a peice, two 150wcfls @ 8,600 lumens a peice, and one 400w HPS @ 58k lumens a peice. That should be plenty of light for 6 plants. Just sux that i dont have MH to show sexes and switch back to vegging, hate to watse all that enegry on male plants but id rather by 400w hps than a mh anyday.
This is my first time growing and its been an exciting hobby for me. Happy Growing. Any suggestions please feel free let me know!
