hi i am a complete beginner at growing. i am planning to go to home depot and buy some wood and build my own closet. then i am planning to buy cfls and a timer. i am also planning to go to the cannabis club and buy a plant that has already sprouted ( about 2-3 inches above dirt ). then i am planning to just bring it home, put it in my closet then grow it. i am planning to do about 2 of these. what do you guys think?
same as me with closet cfls and timer u mentiond cannabis club also great place. cfls as close without burning witch is very close timer on 18 light and 6 dark seal all gaps in closet no light leaks watch those babys grow. i presume plants will be female?
sorry i didn't understand that..can you explain it to me?Quote:

oh and i was wondering. how many cfls do you think i would need per plant?
cannabis club? whats that.
This is how I have the CFT (27W 6500K) on my Wheelchair Project. The exact same way its sitting in the closet on the shelf under the Tubgirls, with the aquarium hood sitting directly on the bucket. The plant is less than 1" tall, and will be 2 weeks on 12/17, and top is currently about 2mm-7mm from tube (less than 0.25"), depending on where on which leaf you measure.Quote:

How close is that? This close.
so how many cfls do you guys think i need per plant?
while you can probably start out with just 1cfl for each plant if you are going to flower with cfls would plan on adding alot more and end up with 3-4 per plant. or you could just go buy a small hps like a security light and only need one light.
depending on what size closet you are building you should probably expect to have heat problems and install a small exhuast fan and intake.
min 1/plant. Here's how I have it im my grow closet. You can see the difference between 2700K (red) & 6500K (blue) spectra in the 2nd shot. I have it mostly red cuz im about to start budding, but earlier in the grow it was mostly blue.Quote:
