Growing In Cabinets (CFL Grow-cab)

And it also says..

Brightness lumens are not equivalent to photopic lumens as referenced in ANSI photometric test procedures, and should not be confused with lumen measurements in photometric tests.

I have no idea..

Hamilton Beach True Air Odor Eliminator
Yeah.. This is #1..
It works good for a month.. but you need to change the filter as many times you need to.


Crane Ultrasonic Humidifier 1 gallon.. You know what..
I like this one.. Look at it.. it's cute.. It create a foggy mist.. I got this at Target for $6 something.. I am stupid.. I bought 2..



Air Wick Scented Oil Warmer.. My timer turn it on 3 times a day for an hour.
Smells good...


Hamilton Beach Air Cleaner.. I need to change the filter. There is a strange smell.. it smells like sperm.. No.. It's not me..


This is a hand water pump.. I don't know what's got into me.. I guess i just like to pump water.. Pumping water is what i do when I get bored.. ????


This is a Fan filter for PC 120mm fans.. It just useless shit.. Unless you can clean this filter everyday..


1 x PH meter
1 x pocket microscope.
1 x thermometer / humidity
"MUST HAVE" Items.. Not stupid at all..

you're using "full spectrum" bulbs for flower? what is the K of them? cuz the "full spectrum" bulbs i'm looking at buying:

26 Watt Compact Fluorescents Light Bulb



are 6500k, for veg

[whitestalkslongwalks]

I have no way to confirm or test.. It just says on the box.
The maker of this product call this Fluorex. It's from Lights of America.

It was cheap. That's why I bought it..

It also says.. on the bottom of the box..
65w Fluorescent area light, 6,500 kelvin = 6,825 photopic lumens=4,550 <- what is this?

ah dude, i guess i'm right; man, you could boost your efficiency like mad if you just went with WARM bulbs and busted out some mylar

that's odd; i don't get it. 4550 lumens would make sense; 70lumen/watt. good for cfl

[whitestalkslongwalks]

Ok.. This is a 1-gallon pot.. made from 1 gallon drinking water bottle.
My neighbor throw these bottles away so I asked to give them to me..
All I need was this Mainstays Mulch film from Walmart

what did you tell him you wanted them for? i hope not "growing weed" :jointsmile:

[whitestalkslongwalks]

because i'm so damn cool:



The lamp uses only 65 watts but is rated to deliver 8905 Brightness
Lumens (or 4550 Photopic Lumens for those interested grow light potential)



i don't get it, but clearly the 4550 is the number you want


summary:

lumen output is good for cfl
color is not right for flowering

whitestalkslongwalks - I'm using CFLs for my grow, and I can assure you they work fine for vegetation all the way through flowering.

They may not be the best lights in the world, but when you consider the price of buying them, the price of powering them and the price of cooling them, vs any other option, I feel they're the best value solution for a small cabinet grow, and they DO work well.

Thank you all for stopping by~ Woooooo Weeeeeeeeeee~ d

You saw my 3rd version of grow-cab.. I liked it because I spent less than $100.. That 65w (4550 lumens) fluorescent lights are only $9 at Costco and it comes with that fixture/reflector.. So check your local Costco store if you want it..

I will show you my 1st and 2nd grow-cabs.


Ok.. This is intake part.. It has a vent filter so that it doesn't suck in everything comes near.. I change the filter like every 2 months..


This is my non-carbon kitty litter air scrubber with 250cfm fan. This lowers about 5 ~ 10f degrees. and took care of the odor problem..



About a month ago, I had a semi-annual apartment inspection so they came down and check through.. They went into my bedroom and found nothing suspicious.. Of course.. I put a beach towel over the grow-cabs and removed all of stuff.. I thought about putting plants in bathroom once during the inspection.. Shit.. My apt manager went in to my bathroom to check leakage.
Everything took about 5 min.
