so i grew a successful crop outdoors this year,
and it was very successful.
i think i'm now ready to try indoor.
i don't have much cash, so i was wondering how well this grow system would work?
Welcome to Cheap Grow Lights ! : GE H.O. 2 foot - Blue Fluorescent Grow Lamp
if not,
what would be a good cheap grow system/grow lights??
Go to Home Depot, buy a cheapo 4-bulb bathroom vanity light bar ($18 or so)
Then get some 100W equivalent compact fluorescent bulbs... The little twisty lookin' ones. They work pretty well & very inexpensive. You can get them 2 for $7 at Wal Mart.
I bought a 10 dollar shop light fixture from wal mart that is 4 foot long and two "natural sunshine or grow bulbs" to go with it that range from like 5-10 dollars each
here's a pic
and it came with chains and hooks for the fixture to adjust it to different heights, the only thing i had to buy was some kind of eye screw to screw in the roof
You can start with a shop light. They are less than $10, then get 2 daylight tubes for them, about $8.
that's what i said =pQuote:

also, when I started this grow I only had a couple of floro tubes mounted on the wall and they weren't even the 4 foot fixtures and they popped my plants up and got them going good for really cheap
*edit* I picked up the "grow bulbs" at home depot or menards
