only energy saving ones I can think of are like
_____
I I <------ top bit
I----I
II II
II II
II II <------ long bit
U U
OK crap drawing, but the top bit has a screw attachment on, and plugs into a normal socket.
the 2 long bits are tubing, that curve down from one side, then up, so in essence is a semi circle or a loop or something.
would that be suitable?
Sorry I am lost now. lol
heres 2 pictures of the lamps I mean.
Searching google. I saw a pic of what u must mean, and this is pretty similar, except it doesnt have that wiggly bit, instead it goes up and then repeats.
put 2 of the new seedlings under the 30w fluro for the time being.
we'll see how they look in the morning
although am sure they will have stretched as well.
:(
ones tied up under the 60w an looks alright i guess, but basically im fucked till i get some proper lighting.
someone said to me than HPS cant be used for the veggin stage, is this correct?
heres what I was planning on doing in my closest, when I have the cash.
I'm guessing the basics can be bought this month (600 HPS + possibly a 400w fluro)
the smaller HPS wouldnt be till the month after at the earliest.
Yeah those pictures are compact flourecents, but the ones here screw into lightbulb sockets.Quote:

planning on getting the 250 + 600, 250 for vegging / growing
600 for flowering.
what you reckon, the plan for the designs are the last picture I upped.
look forward to your opinion mate.
thanks for the help by the way
Moley.
Wow looks like you have everything seriously planned out! Sounds like a good plan with the lighting and those prices on the website seem pretty cheap, but I am not really a lighting expert. I grow with special compact flourecents, becasue of the heat and ventilation factor. How many plants are you planning to grow with that setup of yours?
well, was planning 10, now 2 are dead, so 8.
obviously one will be a mother and in constant vegging stage.
so I will clone from her.
will probably have 10 plants on the go during one period. meaning a constant supply of fresh herb, rather than one big harvest every 2 months or so.
I know vent will be a problem, but got some big fans to help with that.
I am quite compitent (sp?) at stuff like that, just lighting is a major pain in the bum to me.
Yeah it can be a pain in the ass, but it is very important, you know this. Good luck with your setup. Keep us posted on your results. :)
ok bought a energy saving bulb, looks like the wiggly one, but its encased with softened glass.
"Warm white" 2700k
1151 Lumen
20 Watt -<power of 100w though>
To be honest, its pretty damn bright! gonna need to get me some cool looking sunglasses when I get a 600w! :cool:
Also, got home, and SOMEHOW some greenfly was on my smallest plant :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: so I killed it!
but now that part of the plants yellow
:( what the heck?
then again, it could of started to get burnt by my 30w fluro, although I doubt it.
On a side not, 4 didnt seed at all, major pain in the bum, seeing as I have to pray that these 4 I have left will survive, seeing as from 10 seeds::
2 are dead.
4 didnt grow.
2 are stretched
and 2 are really over stretched!
great grow! :D
