ok thanks for the help i got from some of u with the transplanting it went smoothly and the babies are doing good
just put them into flowering a week and 5 days ago 1 female for sure so far!!my question is i have been reading everything on this website over the past couple of weeks and can't seem to find a straight answer so i'll ask the experts
1. i have a 24" shop light with 2 t8's it's a combined 34 watts plus i added an extra flourescent light with a 900 lumens rating and a 6500k temp color not sure what the lumens output is on the double light but it's friggin bright those 2 bulbs are cool white spectrum, i've read all over here that u can't use flouro's to flower(shouldn't say can't,more like not supposed to) according to what i have read on here i've got 5 babies going under those but b4 i started the flowering i was only using the shoplight and they have grown pretty good and sturdy i have been doin c02 and just started with the flower nutes my question is will this setup produce anything other then a waste of time because i'm really getting into this and am on a tight budget any and all oppionins and suggestions and help is all appreciated

it will be part of your learning no matter what turns out so its not a waste of time. plus if you grow it yourself it usually increases your enjoyments of it. i have seen some fairly impressive grows here for fluoros

thanks anybody else have any input it's all welcome + rep for the guy that answered first

I grew with t8 shop light all the way through i used 4 of them i veg with 6500k and switched to the 3000k for flowering.It was 1 plant and almost got 1 oz off it.You can keep the lights pretty close to the plant with out it burning so i myself don't think it would be a waste of time if that's all you got.

cant believe you supply them with co2 when that could be seen as an "advanced grower" tactic. but you havn't provided them with a hps.

not being disrespectful, just seems weird.

using a hps doesnt make u an advanced grower. sometimes hps just will not work with the grow space u have.

i feel ya thing is i can make the co2 for cheap at home(sugar,water,yeast) and tube it cuz i have that stuff lying around i don't have $150.00 for a good hps

You don't have to spend $150 for HPS. A lot of people have had some good result with the $20 150w HPS (link provided below). It is true that everything you do now is a valuable in terms of what you learn but if you want a yield then you should consider investing in one of these. I honestly believe this will make all the difference. Happy growing!

Sorry that the original link didn't work, this one does just delete the space where you find them. 15000 lumens of HPS goodness. You'll probably want to remove the glass covering, which removes about 10% of it, in addition to having a fan blowing on the bulb to keep the temperatures down. I can appreciate HPS isn't an option in every grow space but have a look and see if it is viable. I think it may be worth your while.
