Here's some advice about advice: if you ask people questions, half the answers will probably screw you up. If you seek out the answers yourself, either by reading books, or by reading posts and growlogs (or FAQs) by people who obviously do know what they're doing, the quality of the information you soak up will be much better, and your results will be too. Of course, that's just my opinion, and just like assholes, everyone's got one. ;)
lol great post.. well consider this my first grow and grow log and like everyone before me ive been doing alot of reading plus posting in my own thread so i can look back and see how i have been doing. :thumbsup:
the cfls i have only put out 800 lumens each does that matter if i use 3? what # should i be looking for?
The principle is to have 50w per square foot, or 3000 lumens per square foot. You may need to plan your flowering area and the number of plants you want to grow and work from there. Most books reccomend to put plants in a 12" pot, although I use 10" and many of my friends use 8". Look on this page and find the 2 very cool videos on growing. Very cool. Of course, as my predecessor says, opinions are like assholes- we all have one and they all stink. Books conflict about nutes for seedling, but I find most say to use them very diluted. Maybe because the growing mediums these days are designed for drainage and airation. Who knows?
check out those videos.
