Swishatwista.... You need at least 50 watts of Daylight Spectrum (6500K) CFL's per mom (min) to keep them short, shout & healthy. 80 watts per mom would be optimum. . T-5's are all the rage right now and for good reason. These small lights put out allot of lumens for their size. They come in grow (5000k or higher) or bloom (3000k & under) spectrums and last a long time. Anything between 3000k & 5000k is a neutral range (good for both grow & bloom - but not optimal for either). You can get them in 2, 3 or 4 foot lengths for around $ 25-30 each. Most makers, build a plug-in socket into the end of each one so you can daisy chain them. . Or you could group a few CFL screw in bulbs in that small space. I've got a friend who bought two bathroom lighting fixtures (the kind you put over the top of a mirror) at a discount warehouse for $ 8 each, that have 4 screw-in sockets each. He build a small grow box, just for two moms, about 4 x 4 x 4. He painted the inside with flat white paint. He used (8) 24 watt CFL daylight spectrum bulbs, from Walmart. He kept the total cost under $ 50, by picking up left over wood scraps from construction sites - after he got off work. They are always throwing away, half a sheet of plywood or a few short 2 x 4's. The paint was a freebie also. . If you keep your lights on for 18 hours a day. You can keep your mom's short, shout & healthy. They will provide many cuttings if done right. I've known of two growers that keep a favorite mom plant alive for two years plus. . Hope this helps... Keep it Real...Organic..... Last edited by Ohsogreen; 10-19-2008 at 06:45 PM.. |

just thought i'd add a little to this list i've also used teas i make from seaWEED. being from the ocean state its something i can get free any day of the week.
i wash the seaweed good before adding it to the tea to remove most of the extra salt . this stuff is full of all kinds of micronutrients i also add a few trashbags full of seaweed to my compost pile |

Sorry, should have clarified, i using a 600w hps for my sog grow, but first i have to grow some moms up from seed, and then im going to transfer the moms and that light fixture out of my main box and move them(the moms and their light) into a smaller box were they will just chill out and regeneration. i just need a light for the mothers that will have good blue spectrum lighting, but are also about 2 ft long. I was thinking some t5 fluros, but if anybody has any knowledge feel free to shed some light on my situation

My air stone has not clogged, it has been running straight for like a month, bubbling up some good tea.

Swishatwista..... 6500k....It's good to be Blue. That Blue Light Spectrum will ensure excellent veg growth. . If you remove your air stone from your bubble bucket or jug, before you turn off the air pump & give it a little rinse off, it will last a long time. If you leave it in the bucket, it will not last as long & can clog a little. . I'm kind of like Buffalosoulja....mine rarely gets turned off, so the pores on mine stay pretty clean. . Keep it Real....Organic...... . |
