Show us a pic of your 1 foot tall plant grown under a 25W reptile flo tube.

Some of us would like to see that, as hell, we can throw away all our high end lights that cost some serious change and just do like you did.

Man...that would be sweeeeet

im afraid i do not have a digital camera. but i can assure you that it is one healthy looking plant. so what about flowering then. can anyone help me please

Not sure but if you got this far why not give it a try.

I was always under the impression those gave off more leat then lumens.

MJ Plants are like kids of parents.

Every parent sees the beauty of their own child and thats all they can really see. No matter what the child looks like to us, to the parent, its baby of the year poster time.

I can only imagine what that plant really looks like

Sorry man, but you arent growing more than a couple of joints worth of weed with a 25W reptile lamp.....

Don't get me wrong...I am not dissing your grow. I am sure to you she is beautiful as beautiful can be.

But facts are facts and reptile lights are designed for red spectrum yet high heat output. Ad, 25W might be great for a lizard or a bearded dragon but not a foot tall MJ plant

But...best of luck to you and as Zandor said, what you have to lose?

[matty]

i started mine off with a cpl of 2ft strip lights with reptile aquarium bulbs over them. They don`t give off anymore heat than usual fluro strip lights but i found the growth was very slow and i didnt think they would really do much for them once they got past the 1st few weeks of popping out of the soil so i discarded them.
I think them bulbs are ok for very early stages of seedling but that`s bout it.
