| |  My First Grow | |
Hey Guys
this is my first plant so far other than my outdoor one (which i have no pictures of) and i am wondering how i am doing and what i can do to improve the plant's growth and health
also, does the tinfoil reflect light, i heard from a friend this helps get light to the lower leaves

Generally tinfoil is not so great, it can reflect hot spots and burn your plants, but if you aren't using very strong lighting I don't think it will be too bad. Give us a run down of your set up and then we can give you some more advice on what you will need and what you should do. Good luck. |

What is the wattage/lumens of that lamp. I would assume that that light will not be sufficient for flowering you will need to get as much more light as you can conjure up. Give us specs of everything you have, size of box, light wattage, soil, type of nutes you have or plan on using..... |

I would upgrade to more powerful lights.
If you're on a tight budget then just pick up a couple 42watt (150watt equiv.) CFL's
I use Four of those bulbs for my plant, and it's been amazing so far. I'm in the 3rd week of flowering. You can use those CFL's from start to finish, flowering too. |

get cfl's and just hook them up to any standar socket. Cfl's are generally better than floros for your particular set up, they are easier to move around and can be aimed exacly where you need them. Make sure to try and keep your lights an inch away from the plants, floros aren't powerful enough to be too far away. Blunox has a very good grow on here that he did with schultz his set up was a lot more efficient than yours but it worked very well for him, I suggest you check that out. |

Go to Walmart, get a clamp light, they are $7 and in the same isle as the bulbs, also pick up a 2 way splitter and you can put 2 bulbs in 1 clamp light.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
