What do I have going on here?

[scottjamez]

Iwas ehinking about putting these two on the bottom to get the stem more.

Are these the right type of CFL for vegging?

[scottjamez]

Yes, with fluoro's and incandescents there are 3 types of lights (if I'm not mistaken) and thats soft white, cool white, and warm white, right now you really only need a cool white CFL.

So this would be the correct light to use??

Someone reach out, please?

[BLaQLiGhT]

Yes, thats the right light :thumbsup:. If you have enough of those light, you can even flower you plant with them, but not many people do so.

I think those are more like a halogen and produce more heat if anything try to use a fan to cool those things down. Keep the light at 18 on 6 off for Veg, trust me you dont want to go 24hour cause of your set up. That smoker is like an oven with all that metal your going to be toasting that plant try to keep an AC on in your room at least when you have the lights on if you have one. I see that your growing only 1 plant, would you be pissed if you have a male or are those Fem seeds? Good luck I'm just trying to help you out

She is getting about 8.5 inches tall. Real skinny on the bottom stem. I just moved it to a smaller pot that has pearlite in it. She also got some cactus juices stuff. Hopefully it will grow better stem and roots in the new enciorment with a low watt bulb right next to the stem and having it kept real cool inside. The bottom is almost empty and I have a strong fan blowing up.

As far as it being a male/female, I sprowted one seed and planted it for shits and now I guess I have a 50/50 chance. if it is a male, at least I got practice growing and I will know if the cooker will work well or not.

I'll get some pics up soon

Here it is.

yeah u want to use the cools for veg...man those are stretching like a mofo!.....how far are they from plants?....how many lumens?.....

[busteruk7]

yeah use the cool spec lights and get them closer to the plant cfl's can be 2 inches from the plant with no burning or out, this should sort out your stretching prob
cheers all

If I could afford an HID I would. I can only affor $20 - $30 per week right now. Maybe sometime down the road.

With the two 120Watt incadesants and the two 100watt "warm" cfl's that I have, will I be able to grow a small plant inside this smoker?

I'd save up then, I did the same thing you did, kept buying CFL's till my nose bled, they do work, but compared to HID, they aren't good for much (other than lighting your house cheaply). the nice thing they have going is you can stick them in tight spots really close to buds, but again, a $79 150w HPS from home depot replaces 10-15 of those cfls.
http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=67935 I used to use CFL's till I upgraded to hids (all under $200 btw), check it out. Just can't do that (in that timeframe) with cfls. BTW those "plant lights" you have may be ok, but put out too much heat, 90 degrees in your "smoker" will hermie your plant.
Dont mean to step on anyones toes, CFLs can work wonders on single plant (b/c you can tuck them everywhere) but for anything over 2-3 plants pretty much requires some sort of HID imo. :stoned:
