umm yea.. basicly im not seen the stuff i need for my grow.... i found the wire/timer/light base.... but they have nothing above 32 watt bulbs... anywhere.... lowes,home depot,walmart,target..... so i think ima just pick my bulbs up online...... only problem is i dont want 400 packages in the mail so can anyone help me find were i can get this stuff..

i should be able to pick up pot's, soil(foxfarm or sunshinemix), and nutes at a home depot or lows? will they have those soils? any other soils acceptable ? and will 5500k lights work for my whole grow there "full spectrum" and the site i wanna get the bulbs from doesnt do 65k 27k (warm n cool )

then ill just get lights,seeds, 2 comp fans online and mabe mylar? cuz i herd u cant get that stuff in stores and how would i make a cabinet door sealed
(light/air proof) ?

yea thats where i plan on getting them...... i was just saying i couldent find any in local store's ... then i was asking if 5500k full spec lights would work for the whole grow
veg-flower because that site does not have 65k and 27k

most of the lights on there come in 2700k and 6500k that i looked at.

do you only have 120v or can you use 240v too? everything is 240v over here
theres some cheap ones on ebay if you can use 240v.

the 85w ones come in 3000k, goin by what some of the grows ive seen on here have used they should still produce some decent buds.
the 5000k ones will work but it would be better with the 2700k ones. theres 4100k 105w ones there.
the voltage these lights use is 120volt, i was asking if you have 240volt power available in the house(im not in the US so i dont know, everything is 240volt here).

dude remember what I told you about using 1.6:1 ratio blue:red light the whole way through (veg and flower), and yes the 5500ks are fine, but 6500k would be better (less green photons, more blue). Yes, in US you likely have all 120v except for your washer/dryer/stove (bigger plugs). BTW if you are looking at 1000bulbs still, then an 85watt 6500k would be as good or better than the 100 watt 5500k, because its all about how many watts go into red/blue photons....

thanks man but like i said earlier i just basicly knew what u were talking about... i got the general idea but i wasnt sure how to connect all the numbers and colors and spectrum crap :) i planned on picking some bulbs up on my local stores but i couldent find anything worth getting so yea im back to 1000 bulbs i think ima pick up 1 55k 1 65k 1 air nutralizer than mabe a few more later on .... ill just use the 65k and the other for veg . 100 + watts should be fine to veg a few plants .. then when i flower ill add the other 100 watts and mabe a few more .... i was hoping to have this started by now but i got caught up on making a cabinet for myself ^^ ( alot bigger) and its made to the specifications i wanted it should be perfect to grow 2-6 plants with a small mothering chamber so i can constantly take clones and put them into flower after a few weeks in the small veg compartment... ofc i need to make sure mother stays small and prolly switch the mother off for a smaller one ever month-2
