12 is a perfect number for two plants...half 6500k and 3500k...as far as the lumens its on the package....you will need to watch your temps in a box that small....make sure your fan is bringing in air and exhausting.
A bought my hps for £18 off ebay + £10 p&p. Very big investment. I doubt your cfls cost less than that?
ooo they r free from work soo i have plenty kuzz i own my bussiness but that would be what about 20 usd and the thing is i dont have a ballast for hps unless i can find some that fit regular outlets...
You can buy hps already assembled :) Maybe invest in it at the end of vegging?
ooo post a link to the cheapest place you know to buy it from and what if i used a black light...??? i have a cuple like 6 inch 1s...??? and i now have 8 outlets in my box and will get 3 more cfls asap...
blacklight should only be used as supplemental lighting...for more uvb rays meaning more trich production and calcium absorbtion.
I'm not really sure if all this is true, just what I have read.

soo i should use it or no...kuzz i have 2 and dont use them anyways...but how much should i water them daily or what...??? and how much water is they r in a 3 gallon pot...???
Yes, but don't count them as your main lighting. Can't hurt, post any found results...please. Watering: check for moisture approx. knuckle deep...If completely dry water until at least ten percent runoff is reached (and in decent condition, ie clear good ph).Quote:

oo i dont get what your saying but ill try to water them as needed if someone would tell me how much i should...lol and no offense man ur only tryin to help...
woman, water them only when you stick your finger in all the way (yes sounds kinda kinky sorry) and it's DRY -now it sounds like a turnoff but whatever- only then do you water. The amount is dictated by the runoff. You want 10 percent approx. It's a cycle...dry as frick, water heavily for 10 percent saturated runoff..Repeat with nutes occasionally as needed.
