your understanding of kelvin degrees is right Totalpain. on one of these pages i've put the specs of the bulbs i use..
and ya, phish there is a fan in there.. before i had it just slightly behind it, but now i've actually got it on a timer inside the grow box.. it shuts off for an hour every 2-3 hours.
dimensions.
4 ft. tall
1 ft. deep ( which is why i have it pulled away from the wall)
and 27" wide...
for more than one plant it get's crowded.. but it's doable.. for one plant.. i can let her grow big :D
i have those same bulbs starting some off .... any heat issues for you? i've got mine set up in a cab that's 2-1/2 ft tall, 1-1/2 wide and 1-3/4 deep. they're set in a reflector instead of hangin out, but the edges of my leaves started turning yellow/brown (thinking maybe too close to the light(s)?) what's the closest yours get....
if anyone wants any info on Kelvins go to this place.....
very interesting.

i also have had excelent results for veg and cloning.i use 20wt for cloning.
hah i finnaly have an idea what the hell to put in my cabinet for the lightning. read the overgrow site that some of you suggested to me, pretty much explained everything...
But i'm still not sure how many lights to get, if im going to make 2 plants, ill need a Cool blue 6000k++ light to make them grow good right? then i've read on overgrow that if you add more of the 1500k+ red spek lights(i assume double lights for each plant, to make it work), it will make the buds more and more potent at the flowering stage... The bulbs that i'm most likely getting are probably 27watters' with all the growing speks, do they sell those in normal hardware stores or in like wal-mart, reno depot, home depot, any such hardware stores? or should i just ask a guy who works there" you got 27 CFL lights for growth with 6000+kelvin on em?" cheers

Oh and another thing, if i buy those kinds of small fluros, how much would approx. 1 bulb cost? and how much are bulb sockets? my mom is bitching that all together a socket and a bulb are 40$, i dont believe that ( im in canada)
14-16$ per bulb
4-6 $ persocket
canadian tire
Mmmm flowers...
i've got two more plants into 12/12 now, should see signs of sexing in a few weeks..
bob - i have those same bulbs starting some off .... any heat issues for you? i've got mine set up in a cab that's 2-1/2 ft tall, 1-1/2 wide and 1-3/4 deep. they're set in a reflector instead of hangin out... the edges of my leaves started curling under and turning yellow/brown (thinking maybe too close to the lights?) what's the closest yours get....
