Hi, GoldenGraham!

Thanks for the info on LSTing and FIMing, very much appreciated. Love the meaning of FIM! I thought it was going to be a very technical meaning!

I don't know if you have ever laid a hedge? but thats the image I am getting for the FIM method (kinda), I will look it up further now I know what it means.

I probably will clone then I think, I have the space.

Now for your answers, Yes its a 125watt 6500k Horticultural bulb, Envirolite to be specific, they also make 200watt and 250watt bulbs too, But I wanted to spread my available wattage around the room to get to all areas of the plants, I'm not sure what the equivalant wattage would be for that bulb but if a 20watt = 100watt equivalant then I guess it would be 125watt = 625watt equivalent?? Oh, yes it is a big bugger of a bulb. about a foot long. I have the same type for the 2700k stage too.

I was going to experiment with a CFL version of a vertical grow as the bulb was so big, I was a big fan of that, but i chickened out and decided to do it the traditional way. probably for the best.

My 65watt CFL said it was equivalent 400watt but I dont know??? that one is branded "nulight".

So technically I have over 1000watts of light (have a 20watt CFL in there too)

I do have another question now,

When I get around to flowering, would it be worth using my 65watt 6500k light as well as the planned 125watt 2700k and 85watt 2700k or would that mess things up?

Cheers guys/gals!
theeviltrees Reviewed by theeviltrees on . Yet another CFL grow log.... Well then.... I have being reading monkeybones and secretgardens grow logs for a couple of months now and they both seem to be coming to an end (or ended in the case of secretgardens) I decidided it was about time i started my own grow rather than just slobbering over theirs. This is my first indoor grow too. So.... Rating: 5
