If those are a little pricey for you then you could probably to Home Depot and get some CFLs and get decent results.


There are a couple of hydroponics stores in Seattle that will have EVERYTHING you could ever need.

Hydroponics, Indoor Gardening Supplies, Hydroponic Systems - Home -this one is in Shoreline good selection, shitty service

Indoor Garden, Tacoma, Kent and Edmonds - this is a chain of 4 stores that are scattered across western washington. I go to the one in Edmonds, they are a little pricey, but they know there shit! just dont say anything about medical marijuana theyll kick you out


Also..... these plants are going to need 12 hours of total Uninterrupted darkness. even the amount of light that gets under a door is too much, it can lead to hermies. You might wanna enclose an area for them.


If you want decent weed, and a decent amount, your gunna have to make some upgrades in order for that too happen.

Im also from Seattle so if you have any questions or need any help, just let me know brotha.



First Grow?????
Yes first grow. I had read flo lights did well on grow sites. However I think I want to put up a 250watt MH instead. Trying to find best deal. I grow legally with MMpermit here in Marysville. Want to just grow 2 to 3 plants or clones at a time. This was just from bag seed I had lying around.

Wanted to test how to grow.

When you say CFL, I have some extra table lamps. What CFL would you buy? Or just go for it with the 250watt MH?

Growing in my garage.
