I have a lighting question!!!

k thanks marc. but what do you mean the ones that looks like a coil? dont know what your talken bout. lol

peace~

CFL's are notorious for their coil design. If someone thinks CFL this usually comes to mind.

Thise CFL's are PERRRRRRRRRRfect for clones.... one of those lights is enough for 100 clones ... if need be!!!!

: )

k i have one of those at home but are they all the same? mines not any serious watts but what if i get like 5 of them or normal light bulbs. like if i get a bunch of ok lights is will my plant not turn out as a stick with leaves style that everyone is talking about. thanks

If you can find some 23 or 45 watters then those will work fine. The ones HARDDON suggests are even better, but you have to order those as I've never seen them in the normal hardware stores and probably not in Canadian Tire either. Just put as many as you can in there. I use 9 (4 - 45's and 5 - 23's) plus a 2 footer and a 4 footer. But I'm obsessed...but also realize that just a couple aren't going to do what you want it to do. And get them close to the plants! At the very most a couple inches away and with proper ventilation (fans) within an inch. Just be sure not to let them touch for too long as they will fry a leaf.

k thanks alot man :)

I made the mistake of trying to grow with 2 duel 40 watt 4 foot fixtures. Two months later I could see they weren't growing very well so I got 2 - 175 watt mercury fixtures. They helped, but still not good enough. After 4 months of growing I broke down and bought one 400 watt HPS. At 7 months I had 2 of 5 plants go hermi on me.

In all my reading etc. I've come to understand growing plants is very much like growing a human! When people grow up in freaky environments with poor eating, sleeping habbits, they don't do as well as if they were better taken care of.

Now my second grow has two 400 hps fixtures. HOLY COW! What a freaking difference. In 9 weeks my plants are 3 feet high by almost 3 feet wide with no topping!

Good luck, but I believe you would do best by waiting until you can set it up right. Electricity is getting expensive and you don't want all that money wasted on crap for herb.

K so basically what i want in lights are CFLs that have about 20 000 lummens??? if im wrong or am missing something then could someone help me out please? thanks

pease~

i use 3 40 watt 4 footers and mine are doing ok kinda short but getting decent buds out of it
