whats is the watt on the bulbs in the lamps

The bulbs are 120watt "Agro-Lite" by phillips. Model BR40. 5 inch diameter.
These are not like the smallers spiral type of cfl I had, these are big old bouys.

I left only one of them on overnight and the plant REALLY seems to like it. Maybe an inch growth...

I rigged the two lights to the top of a grill/smoker (guess I won't be smoking any ribs for a while. From the soil to the light bulb is about 3.5 feet. Since the bottom is open, I have a fan blowing up the smoker and the vent on top fully open.

What would be the best to line the inside of this smoker with? I know about whight paint, and Mylar coating, but is there anything less expensive and easier to apply and is also fireproof?

[scottjamez]

The temp inside is 90F and humidity at 60%.

Is this plant too small to give nuts to?

get 10-15 more, <chant> h i d-all-the-way...

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?

[scottjamez]

So I got a 14 day old plant that sprouted and grew with all of the wrong lighting and temp conditions. After 10 hours with 240 watts of the correct light it sprang to life and doubled in height.

The bottom part of the stem still has a redish/yellowish color to it. Doesn't look that bad, just worries me.

I have a thermostat sitting right next to the plant. 90 Deg. F / 58% Rel. Humidity.

I was thinking about going to pick up some nutrients and fert for it today. The

This smoker comes aprt in three places from top to bottom. I think one good thing about growing it in this smoker is that I can Flower the hell out of the top while still growing the bottom third to veg.

Any advise on light timing? How many hour / day should I keep the lights on?
Experts?? Comments? Suggestions?
