edited more into my previous post, catching up with you guys now! I think you up the intensity, which falls off very fast with bulbs of all kinds, so the CFL is probably the best, because being able to place many, very close without burning the plants is a lot better than one "only close enough...

So probably better to go with many for good distribution, but not to expect them to multiply together, only to up the intensity outside of each one's main sphere of influence, or otherwise make it more intense when they interset, but that it won't make 2 1600 lumens into 3200 lumens, just will...

Currently growing about 4 inches one and almost 2 inches the other, but second had a late start/grew funky coming out of the dirt. Using soil etc, this is just a question about bulbs and lumens: I have 4 23w CFL 5000k with 1600 lumens each. Currently using 3 of the 4, but will go to the full...

Is this project feasible? I already have 2 sprouts. One is about 2 to 3 inches tall and just barely showing her second real-leaves coming out between her first real leaves, which came after the first 2 round petals, and the other one is only like barely an inch tall but has more of the second...

I've got it. You know the light over the dentist's chair? Now, I am not sure if his light in it is grow worthy, maybe some are, but it has a crazy look to it like it has a bubble over it and is pretty bright. Not the one's with the inverted 1/8 discoball, I mean the ones with the magnifiers...

Sounds good, I will go for one of the sprouts in the window, and one 42w or two 26w with as much info as I can find about it here. I'll wing it with the window baby, and start light on the main squeeze and make sure I let everyone know how it goes and how either performs: Super low budget single...

haha yea it is warren lol. Ok, but what about a sort of fiber optics-like construction that takes one light and routes it to 4 or 8 directions all at once, from one light, a light strong enough to grow all your plants, but only hitting the canopy, re-route the light through enclosed...

That is very encouraging! thank you so much for sharing your way and that it can work! I will indeed do one in a box and one in the room! haha awesome!

Okay, so, never successfully grew, new member to the site, just now starting out, but I wondered something... What if you could use WAY less powerful lights by having something between them somewhat like a magnifying glass, but huge with a wide-angle so it doesn't concentrate the light so much...

Yea, the funds aren't there, barely scraping by as it is. Good suggestion, but I like the idea of CFL's because they are even less power than my normal light bulbs, produce little to no noticeable heat, and generally make a lot more sense to buy in the local store for a few bucks. I am unable to...

It seems to be that using CFL is my only artificial option due to not being interested in excessive heat, excessive electricity usage, and generally seeming from what I've seen in various youtube videos to not needing much more for as small of a grow as I have begun. Here is the thing: Do I...
