lights

hey thanks what about 8 or so of the swirly lights? i'm on a limited budget lol

[Ace977]

yeah i was thinking and i think that i am going to but 4 of the swirly lights think thats good? probably 100 watts or so?

ok just some info: those swirly lights (lol) are called CFLs (compact florecent lights)

and they dont come in 100 watts they go up to like 43 but is equivalent to 100 - 150 watts

and no 4 will not be enough. thats like 1 light for each plant and im sorry for saying 5 before because you would need at least 6 and even with that it would be a small yeild

[.:Karma:. o.O]

yup thats what i got...try it itll work for a first grower...

[krazyWIS420]

well lol howmany CFls lol would you use for only two plants?

[Ace977]

lol 5-8 40 watts

[Ace977]

but probably only one will turn out to be a female (unless your lucky) so then it will have extra lighting and give a larger yield:thumbsup:

hey ace thanks alot. when the leafs start to come that ratio should i use 20 light and 4 dark or 18/6? or something different?

[Ace977]

Glad to help:jointsmile: and you can use anywhere from 18/6 to 24/0

[.:Karma:. o.O]

yea i used 18/6 and it worked but you can use anything but you want maximum growth and best root developement soo go with 18/6...i dunno if you know about what the light and dark do for your plants but light is like the charger to a battery and dark is like using it ina remote it grows and charges when lights on and it produces root developement when light are off and other stuff but im not sure what...
