Week one down of 12/12. Number 1 plant is really stretching now. The main tip has breached the lights. I will tie it down again within the next couple of days. Number 3 plant is still very compact. It just won't stretch between the nodes at all. There are pistils evident over both plants as you can see in the pics. Number 2 and 4 seem to have really picked up since I moved the lights away from them. Also one of my warm white 48w 2700k globes died so until I can replace it I've dropped in a spare spiral 23w 6500K globe. I may even replace the warm white with another natural 48w 5000k globe. The plants seem to always face their leaves towards them and ignore the warm whites.
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
