too me it seems plants absorb it in both stages perfectly fine so i dont see the point in buying 2 sets of bulbs for 1 grow...i dunno im one of the cost vs product kinda guys. like right there is about 90grams and it cost me like 130 bucks? and i could have gotten way more kind of stuck for time as im going away for a month in a couple weeks

i use alot of studio daylight cfls, easy to find cheap 45w ones so i dont need a mogul socket and i just use y adapter and im pumpin 90watts every clamp light

my light setup is nothing special. i hang a t5 and then im constantly (every 2-3 days) changing either the position of the plant or the spiral cfls im using. just clamp lights and y sockets forreal dude. sometimes i even clamp my lights onto the pot to provide direct light from no distance. i like my spirals in the middle because i leave them uncovered so surrounding them in plant material is maximum effectiveness

its like 10 23-watt cfls and a 20k lumen t5. nutrients twice a week and water daily. i leave the door open in the day with a fan blowing air in to bring the fresh air in.

Oh nah, you just gotta make one. Anyone can grow or at least learn most def. Just start a thread in either the growing sections or the grow journal section. I actually have a new grow going in my sig thats about 40 days into flower. It is better than this one, as this was my first.

90 grams dry off 5 plants not more than 2ft. tall. I have a current grow that is almost complete, hoping for better GPW.

My goal this time is a 2 oz average using a couple hundred watts in cfl my soil mixture is a lot better this time.

I don't like to over shoot but last time I had about 450w actual watts as of right now I have 255 watts under 3 plants which I plant to cut back down to 2 because I have an unknown cheese clone who knows what kind it really was it was outdoor grown and dident smell like much.

But even with just 255w on 2 plants I have a good feeling that I might still get 2 zip per plant some how. I am planning on adding a couple more lights so I will be closer to the 400w mark where I was last time with cfl and then id say deff 2 zip per plant

As long as you keep them close 2 zips per plant should be easy. I just finished cropping my second t5 crop yesterday if you want to check it out. It was about 420watt of fluorescent lighting (got a watt meter and found my t5s run about 200 ea instead of 220).
