Thanks Bill. I'm glad I'm not the only one having a giggle at my lighting setup.
I was able to get the lamps much cheaper than just the sockets alone so I thought why not. This way I can always reuse them if I decide not to grow anymore. I'll post some new pics soon on how I have been able to vary them also which is a bonus.
The following is a pic of the number one plant taken at the same time the last ones were. Its had a hard life so far but is really starting to take off now. Its either male or has more sativa traits than number 3 plant.
elcheapo Reviewed by elcheapo on . Elcheapo's First Indoor Grow. I initially started out with the idea of using a CFL or 2, wanting to avoid hydro shops and HID lighting. After researching it a little I found one of BobBongs threads and was stunned to see his amazing results. Although money isn't a factor, my goal was to spend what it costs to buy an ounce, on equipment. Also trying to keep everything really simple. Lighting I purchased was :- 3 x Natural CFLs (48watt/240watt equiv. 5000k) Energy Saving 3 x Warm White CFLs (48watt/240watt equiv. 3000k) Rating: 5
