Read up more...

You want a high K value for vegging and lower number for flowering... You need a 6.3.6-5 ph for water and soil, no nutes for the seedling stage. Read up more is all I can say. It's going to take you at least 12 weeks to get bud, so spending a few days studying is worth it.

And yes they will stink. Eventually you won't notice it, and someone unexpected could always arrive near your house and smell it. Look for the DYI carbon filter, and you'll have to get a fan or two for ventilation (there's a sticky about ventilation in the Growroom Setup section i think)

my main thing is the lights..soil and what not i have under control just need info on these 42 watt cfls are they good to use for flowering??and if so how many for 2-3 plants

and the smell this dude next door grew outside and never even knew untill the day he showed me...i was outside smokein a doobie haha go figure but thanks

i say one for each plants, but you need 2 types (one for veg and one for flowering). You need to see the K number (temperature), you want cool white or daylight (5700K) for veg and warm white for flowering (2800K)....

Think about standing next to a fire outside and indoors... Outdoors you might not smell anything burning, while inside you would suffocate, np:jointsmile:

i bought over 20 of these from walmart since they were 97cents a piece.. they are rated at 2700k which is supposed to be better for flowering but i am currently using them for veg and they are making a big impact. worth every penny.. how many bulbs you use depends on how big your plants are.. personally i would do no less then 4 bulbs a plant(more light = more yield).. its also important to get a mixed spectrum in there.. i suggest getting some y splitters and get some 6500k 23watters to team up with the 2700k.. hope this helps..

ok so say i buy 3 23 watt lights and 3 42 lights and 3 y connectors with the clamp on lights and use one of each in the fixtures will this be good to produce seeds not to worried about the smoke i just want to make seeds..so 3 plants hopefully get one male and female....and if i do this with this strain auto ak/auto blueberry will the seeds be the same...and has anyone ever smoked this strain before is it good well is better than smoking mid grade weed...
