get the light much closer, it's stretching a lot, flos don't have much heat

[RastaKaze]

and if you look at the ballast.. they are really 14w.. twisty tie all three of them together and hang em' 1 inch off the top of her if you want to see ANY growth with your current setup

Screw the fluros man, if thats the only one you haveyou should get a 400 watt Metal Halide kit. Itll cost a lil extra but you will get 3x's as much as you will with thew lights you have now. And your shit will be much more potent. Good luck!!!

oh and i forgot to mention that she was in a window seal for the first 6days, would that casue the stretching? where can i get a 400watt metal halide kit budman? THANKS for the input.

[budman2000]

The window not a good idea unless it is direct, and from ur pick it doesnt look direct. Anyways you can get a refurnished 400 watter online for under 300 bucks and from personal experiance that is the way to go.Good luck!!!

[KenoSmoker]

get the lights closer and youll be ok for a while bro.

[Rekap]

yeah, i dont bother putting it in the window anymore. lights will be moved closer ASAP. is it a good idea to burry the stem a bit so theres not so much length after i transplant? i tied it to a stick to be sure she wouldnt fall over from the fan...

THANKS AGAIN.

nice work, rekap.,,, looks like a f-ing doctors office... LOL..

There are these lights a Home depot.. 5-15 dollars depending if the sale is on... they are 150 watt cfls.. easy cheap and great for first time growers.. there was this diety who used to run in these parts and he used them very very well.. his name was hard on...

then there is BobBong meat guy... he also used CFLS very very well.. now budman is right.. but it is a bit costly and that MH light is a beast.. it can wake your neighbors up if you don't know what your doing... and it creates shit loads of heat... blha blah blah.. anyway.. it is just for people who are in love with growing or Obsesive compulsive,,, budman is both..


i love you

and here is a picture especially for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[budman2000]

Im not sure wether to be offended or say thank you.......Ima "glass is half full" kinda guy so Ill say thank you garden knowm. I am in love with growing though!!!
