yes regular light fittings, just rigg lots up on a power strip or 2 and plug them into to a basic timer, get as many as your sockets will take, then set your light cycle to 18/6 18 on 6 off then sit back and watch her grow

can i ask what are your main reasons for using cfls?

i'm not trying to say "get 1000W hps!!!" or anything.

but why that type of bulb? is it cost? heat? i would like to know, never used them. but they get good results from what i can see.

any input on seeing what sex it is??? or if i need more light??? lol noobie here
you could wait untill thier about 5-7 weeks old and take a clone, and flower it, that will tell you the sex of the mother.

or just flower the plant itself to speed it up, then throw it back in veg.

both cause stress tho.

i used foil, isn't all that great, causes hot spots too!

mylar is like >95% reflective.

not paying that much to run the light and not make the most of it...
