Bought 8, 23w-6500k daylight cfl's today. wondering if that would be enough to veg 6 plants? taking into account they will not all be female i'm planning on using 12 23w-2700k for flowering, again is this enough?

they should work fine. if you get lucky with the females you should get more - 600 watts total would be about right if you end up with all females.

so for veggin these do you all think the 8 are ok or should i add a few more? i am definately going to try and reach 600 watts for flowering but i'm trying to figure now what is the easiest/cheapest and so i don't have 30 lights hanging..

you only need 600 watts if they were all to be female. what you have now is sufficient to veg 6 and flower 3 so you are ok if you get the average number of females.

i havent posted any pics yet, kinda scared too actually...lol

i have a SMALL stealth grow cabinet keeps between 65-80 degrees, i actually planted them outside,(bag seed) got scared someone would notice, pulled them @ 1 month veg outside ( a small 17") and transplanted into the cabinet. one is almost one solid hairy bud now and the other is a MUTANT! i have NEVER seen one like this, it has LOTS of branches with only 1 or 3 leafs as fan leafs, and has tons of flowers growing everywhere. only used miracle grow for a little (crap)

I keep the cfls 1 inch away from the plants. 12/12 now for 3 weeks. walmart emergency blanket, thermometer,small fan and 2 26w cfl lights, was VERY SURPRISED how well i am doing so far for so cheap.

what other odor remover do you guys use? my garage smells like a dead skunk. will a box of baking soda help kill the odor in my small cabinet?

lol just measured

my cabinet is 34''tall 22" deep and 28'' long. next grow i will add more light, even if its one of those 24" floral tubes
