Should I just toss in the extra 5 bulbs for a total of 10 CFL's in there? The other 5 are 4 13w's, and one 26w 6500K

For specific reasons I cannot order items online. I checked the home depot website and can't seem to find 6500k's, I've also checked in person, but maybe I am missing something. Perhaps lowe's may be carrying them

I've been debating with the lights for a while now. I can't seem to find any 26w around here, I was thinking of getting an HPS - Philips 250-Watt ED18 High Pressure Sodium HID Light Bulb Brightness: 27,000 lumens Estimated yearly energy cost: $30.11 (Based on 3 hrs/day, 11c/kwh. Costs depend...

The 13w's are 2700k's, I have 4 of them and one 26 watt but the 26 watt light looks BLUE I mean I can clearly see the color difference in the photo. Also, my biggest bulb in there (the 34w) is 3500k. Here are some new pics, the plants are growing pretty nicely everyday. The youngest seed in...

Yea I just learned about scrobbing on another thread, thanks @LadyJ :) I will have to read more into it. I've upgraded the lights on the box, I am now using 4 23w CFL's (5000K / 1600 Lumens), and One 32w (2100 Lumens / 3500K). I also have extra light sockets and 5 13w CFL's but I don't know if...

Yea I know what you are talking about, they are about 4$ it didn't cross my mind I could use those, thanks

If you ask me, (and this is based on the diagram), you could double your crop to 8 plants in the veg room and 8 plants in the flower room, that is if the diagram represents your real life space situation :) following this thread

I was planning on getting a second bin and cutting the bottom out and stacking it to increase height on the current box once the plants outgrow it in about a week and a half or so I estimiate, or if I find a taller bin all together I can just buy that and use the same top im using now + recut...

GReat info @cloud and @amaximus, thanks alot clarified that perfectly for me :)

Thanks for the replies :bigjoint: I moved the lights much closer, it's much better in there now I have a center bulb that goes down slightly past the height of the cups so the bottom part of the stems are getting good light and the other 4 bulbs are much closer scattered around the bin as well...

The container with 2 plants was actually one seed which started growing like that, not sure what's up. I dropped the lights much lower and the stems are getting some light, I also added some extra dirt into the cups to lower the height of the stem which worked out nicely. Installed computer fan...

This is the second thread where I seen someone use like a "grill" over their plant, what does it do exactly? I thought it kept it shorter but I'd imagine the plant would simply grow through

So I was using a flimsy cardboard box for the past 2 days for my first grow and i really wasnt liking the box and everything and decided to grow a better grow box, here is what I came up with. The light thing on the top is from one of those flexible wire lamps, I stripped the top piece off and...

My new box, the holes on the sides will be fans

I posted a topic before this one but I'm scrapping it so I can keep track of my grow a bit better. The plants are about 10 days old now, here are some pics of the old grow box and the new one I just finished building out of the rubbermaid bin. In the rubbermaid box I put a piece of foil...

Yea swim is getting rid of the cardboard box, swim built a decent box with a rubbermaid bin. Swim will post pics later

changed the lights a bit, still sloppy will build new box tomorrow with these lights. The bulb at the top is a daytime reptile light for my ball python, going to try using it during nights to see if it improves growth at all

Well, the 48 watt CFL just broke while I was changing the grow box a little bit, sigh :( I'll try to buy one or two tomorrow, they are 12$ where I live).

Got a new bulb (48 watt). Seems like it runs a little hot but it should be fine for now, I lowered the lights a bit so they are closer to the plant, the 3rd light standing up in the back i keep slightly higher for what little reflection the foil is giving until I get better reflective material...

Does anyone know how long aprox. it would take for a plant to die if it was going to after being transplanted into another container? It's been about 12 hours and all seems fine thus far despite the fact that I damaged some of the roots.
