- 2 rubbermaids clammed together.
- 4 12 volt computer fans
- 4 frozen water bottles
- 1 hygrometer
- some mylar alternative
- 8 23 wat cool white cfls

not too sure how long ive been flowering

as for the lil one.
- 1 42 wat cfl


messy closet, very cluttered i know, but that is all my DWC stuff for next crop
=)))
and yes it is very half assed. put about 3 hours into making it. i was on a short budget and i still am.
good enough for now. my wiring is a mess too. =/


this plant has gone through hell and back. almost died of heat trauma. i actually had 2 ... the other didnt make it.

as long as you have enough light you should do allright baring any other big mistakes. One of the mods here, GK, actually wrote a book about growing with cfl's like that. If you think your setup is that bad, check out other cfl grows and see what they are doing. I did cfl's my first few tries, and then when i did better and knew more, I went up.

the lights are on 18 hours a day thats 226 wats
here are the MAX PRICES and MIN PRICES for a 216 wat fixture for a month
(MAX IS 26 CENTS KWPH) (MIN IS 4 CENTS KWPH)
6 hours = 10.95 , 1.68
8hrs = 14.60 , 2.25
10 hrs = 18.25 , 2.81
12 = 21.90 , 3.37
14 = 25.55 , 3.93
16 = 29.20 , 4.49
18 = 32.85 , 5.05

ok ill try to total my entire setup with receipts

- digital thrm = 6.47 (walmart)
- cfl 4 pack bulbs x 2 = 7.88 x 2 (walmart)
- cfl 42 wat reading light = .75 (walmart) sweet freaking deal eh
- Ivry Twin Lt x 4 (y sockets) = 1.57 x 4 (walmart)
- tote box x 2 (rubbermaid) = 3.97 x 2 (walmart)
- 4 light sockets = around the house lamps taken apart or ...
( - lamp parts = 4.99 (home depot)
- miracle grow seed starting mix = 3.75 (home depot)
- computer fans were from a buddy or u can get a 4 pack for 19.99 (radioshak)
- weather stripping i already had (a few bucks at home depot)
