When your at home depot check out the fluro lights....you can get everything you need for like 25 bucks or less. Even 2 more sets of fluros would help. Also I dont remember if you had any reflective materials. If you dont the cheapest thing you can get would be emergency blankets. I think they are less than 2 dollars each. You will probably need a minimum of 2. Proobably go with 3 because since you have such little light....I would take one blanket and cut it into sections and carefully STRESSING CAREFULLY put it around the soil and under the plant....I mean we are desperate for light here. You can also check out big lots....sometimes they have deals on those spiral fluro lights. Be careful though as not all of them are good for growing. Besides its the cheapest alternative to the true CFL which run about 60 bucks complete. Bu we are working in a budget. But hey man you get an A for effort!!! Also if your fluros that are on it now are old...replace them. And check and make sure you have the COOL BLUE on it for vegging. Dont waste money on the ones that say for plants.....just the cheap cool blues. Keep us updated. I know you can get a tiny clamp reflecor and a cheap bulb for about 10 bucs....I bought a couple ....I used em for the seedlings. Hope this helps a little
Krippysmoker Reviewed by Krippysmoker on . Please Critique my little plant My plant is about 30 days old and has been on 18/6 all the way through. I had the plant under 2 40watt fluros (2 inch away) for the first 25 days and I just switched to 2 fluorex's @ 65w (2 inch away). It just started growing the seventh set of leaves and is still not much taller than a lighter. I fed it nutes once about a week ago. All comments/criticizims/tips are welcome. BTW: This is the first plant I've ever grown and I want to do my best make is a success. Hopefully the pics Rating: 5
