I was thinking to use a chest (like a tool chest, ya know) Long Ways verticle, closet style. And I wanted to put lets say 16 cups on the bottom. What to you think I could do, to get it set up. Do you think thats a good box? And lets go into the lighting. How much Wattage do I need of What exactly. There are so many.

yes you can get the book at Barnes and Noble..

Your space sounds adequate.. you should start anew thread and post some pictures of your grow are and set up.. and then send me a link.. I will check it out and give you my reaction...

cheers

the 42 watt Cfls (150 watt equivalent)... I saw them at Target for $7.44..

If you can get you hands on larger wattage or MORE lumens then DO IT!

My big problem, is no digital cam. As soon as I can get to the book store, I will buy your book. So what's the difference with like those CFLs that Stealth Hydro sells, that say dual spectrum. Is it bull shit? Or do they come in different spectrums. And I'm guessing to steer away from tubes right. CFLs are the spirals only? I looked at home depots reflectors w/ fixtures a while ago I liked but was confused on the T? cause I didn't know whats best and the difference. I know it's been said t5, but they have t8 t12?

thanks again,

The KEY factors when FLOWERING is not HEIGHT, but rather NUMBER of NODES...

You want at least 4 nodes.... BUT not more than 8 when using CFLs or really any fluorescents...

You also want the plant to be very very healthy... A healthy plant will have vigorous new growth with each NEW set of fan leaves BEING larger than the previous set...

a healthy YOUNG plant can be flowered early with great success!

i have room and need as much as i can get since we use a LOT and the spare bathroom is tiny. and i'm spending WAY too much money. when i think of how much money i've spent on it in the last 15 yrs it makes me sick.

i am willing to wait a little longer and spend more money on lights and adapters. i'm thinking 2 larger CFLs over each girl and a string of lights down the sides built with adapters from each main socket....
however, i try not to think- my few remaining brain cells bumb into eachother and fall down when they get excited.
PS if i sign Bullfrog it's me, if there is no sig then it's my wife posting

do you have a picture? how close is the bulb to your foliage?

cheers

it was probably about 1 inch away but its was the very top of the bulb pointed at it would that create a hot spot?

We have decided to go ahead and take the clones and start the plants flowering today. Not really sure that they are big enough to take clones, but we really need to start flowering these plants, going by Garden Known's guidelines. So we'll see what happens I guess....
