My First Grow

your color is alright but I'd suggest a couple more 40 watt bulbs lower on the plants to help with the lower bud sites.

I have 3x40 watt bulbs over the plants, and 3x26 watt bulbs sitting lower. That is a total of 12,600 Lumens and 750 eqivalent watts. That should be enough right? I am on a small budget and I know my yield wont be huge. What type of bud density could I expect ranging from really wispy, wispy, decent or pretty good. I know i wont get great buds, I am just curious what to expect.

Sorry for the long post. Any comments would be appreciated. Advice needed!

wispy, be potent still

Also, equivalent watts don't mean a thing, it's the actual wattage that counts.m plus you can only get at max a gram of bud per watt, but that's using a SOG method.

oops..double post.

generally smoker, and cigarette stores carry bongs and stuff like that.

Edit: well there was a post above this one asking about headshops but well..deleted

Thank you so much guys. So as it stands with the light I have I could expect wispy buds. If I do like kieahtoka says. and add a couple more 40's then I should get decent buds I hope.

I topped one of them today so I could start cloning. I cant wait to see if I can pull that off. I read in the FAQ just cut and put in water. That helps cuz I dont have root hormone.

Here is the plants...Im sure they need some work. I planted them long before I started lurking here!

I have read that in a hot enviroment you can use a/c to cool the room. I have my plants in the attic where it gets hot. In order to contain light and have air circulation I need the plants tight by the a/c. Would the cold air blowing directly on the plants hurt them? Or should I put the plants on the floor and let the air blow over them

If I raise the plants they will be close to the ceiling where light can reflect off the roof. Otherwise with them on the floor it seems light can escape up.

However they are being blown directly byt the a/c. If I lower them light possibly escapes up, but air circulates above them. Which way do you think I should put them?
Help a brother out and tall me what I can do for my plants please
