i already have all of my 6500k down to 2700k. the reason im asking is because i can get these colored bulbs for free from my work, and they are the 13 watt bulbs. thanks for yalls input! i didnt understand the color meaning the k range.

i understand that, would it be beneficial to use a red and a blue cfl or would it just be more beneficial to use two extra regular cfls?

i had searched "colored cfls" already and couldnt find anything please dont blow me up! i have been reading that plants need their blue and red spectrums. Would blue and red cfls work or not be beneficial in any way, im sure someone has tried this already... thanks in advance

i do have hydroton no skewers though. the plants roots will be long. i have let them get to this stage before (the last time) and their roots were very long already, i would say anywhere from 4-6 inches with some branches too. long enough to hang out of the net pot and be able hang down into the...

i wiil dip them in a cup of water gently. what is a better method? i have no way of getting those cubes to put the seedling in. can you go straight into dwc from seedlings? @dicky youre good man no worries, any info will help!

the first round didnt go very well since i kind of just threw everything together last minute, i have everything done correctly now (as correct as a budget dwc/cfl grow can be) i just need to know when to put my little ones in the net pots. i let them germinate and i planted them in soil after...

my ph is at 5.8 and did "general hydroponics" brand nutes and i have the water touching the first layer or two of hydroton in the net pots. the roots i put on the first couple layers of hydroton that are touching the water. i have 6 23w 6500k and 2 23w 2700k cfls that are about 9-12 inches away...

yeah they were healthy when i took them out of the soil. i put the bottom most part of the roots into the water on top of the bottom layer of hydroton is this the correct place to put them when transplanting?

i just put my plants from the soil pot into my home made dwc, will they be fine overnight without the water being pH at 5.8-6.3? i wont be able to get a tester and ph up and down untill the afternoon tomorrow.

sorry if there is a thousand other threads on this i really didnt know what exactly to search for and i couldnt really find anything on this. im going hydro from soil and i would like to know how far to put the plants into the hydroton filled net cuts and how far into the water they go. if i...

thank you! the plants are still in soil but are getting the 18/6 light they need until today, im going to go get net pots and hydroton finally. the last two things i needed for the hydroponics! ill probably give them the epsom salt right away when i get them in the pots and dwc right away so...
