some pics of my modified setup below (such bad angles and lighting, but the concept's there).

I bought 2 busted dual-socket ceiling lamps, and a pokemon particleboard poster, bored holes in it and modified it as a makeshift ballast/reflector-type thing for all my lights.

I still have to put reflection on the side facing the plants, and I'm still waiting for my new bulbs.

As it stands I have
2x26w cool white CFL
1x15w cool white tube
1x27w "warm white" (blah)
3x14w 4100K (more blah)

but soon I'll have:
1x55w 5000K CFL
2x30w 6500K CFL
1x15w cool white tube
2x26w cool white CFL
1x27w "warm white"

I still gotta calculate total amt of lumens, but it should be far more than what I have now.

I'm sticking to CFL, for the record, just to see how things turn out. This is a very elaborate experiment for me

p.s. no pics of plants themselves, but so you know the big one's at the 5-leaf stage now
tybeet Reviewed by tybeet on . blueberry/c99 - first cab grow This is my first attempt at a grow with some Joey Weed blueberry/c99 hybrid seeds. I made the mistake of adding nutes when they were seeds even (eek!) and I think as a result the middle plant got a bit of a nute burn from the soil (the others did not because I transplanted them to fresh soil). I'm trying to figure out why growth is so much faster for the middle one, probably because the lights are so much closer? As it stands right now I have fairly poor lighting, though I'm doing the Rating: 5
