Ok well my plant is hitting 5 weeks tomorrow and well my plans for the outdoor grow got screwed up by the landlord besides way to many pests to keep up with.

What i currently have bought are some light bulb reflectors and a good vortech fan. Well i am on a short budget so i have a few questions.

First, will my plants survive from outdoor to a decent 2-4 cfl light set up? Im planning to buy emergency blankets for the reflection on the walls but if i cant afford would trash bags or alumnim paper work?

Here are the lights and extension cord with timer that i plan to buy all feedback and suggestions are wanted please!!

bumporzzz!!!!

no bro you need more light, first off those look like soft white bulbs. Soft white spectrum of CFLs have a Kelvin temp of around 4100 with more blue in the spectrum (which decreases internodal branching space in plants) so they are perfect to grow short,stout, seedling and vegetative plants. Warm white CFL with around 2700 kelvin have more red in the spectrum and can be used by themselves but are best used with cool white cfls to avoid internodal stretching. Those bulbs pictured are actually 14 watt, the coparison of 60 watt is comparing the lumen output of a 60 watt incadescent bulb. Now i too was on a budget when i started my CFL grow but i ended up buying the 42 watt ( 150 watt comparison) bulbs, i bought 5, they run around 8 to 9 bucks a pop but are worth it, the advantage of a bigger bulb rather than a lot of smaller ones is a large lumen output from one single source so there's less heat, so bro if your on a really strict budget i would look for the highest actual watt (14 for the ones pictured) in a bundle like the one above, try having both cool and warm white if possible but you can never have too many really, but if you can afford it i would buy the 42 watt or even the 65-200 watt ones available at home depot by the garage spot lighting, the higher the better, heres my setup if you need any info on wiring them up, or how to position em lemme know, best of luck bro

niceee, i got a 400 too, i heard that the attached ballasted cfl bulbs are suceptible to UV radiation and high humidity so they ballast may wear out faster..haha but i have four along with my HPS too
