Well thanks! I'm like 90% sold! another dude told me I could buy a bunch of led bulbs and that it would give me better results than cfls but this way would really be easier and I'm under the impression that mixing cfl's light with led's light will kind of make the final spectrum "fuller" I will...

Yeah those are readily available in all hardware stores! If it works as good as you claim, this may be my best option yet. as I want to build a 2 by 2 grow box, I will need minimum 15 of those. any idea how to wire them? I'm not even sure it will fit in such a tiny space lmao But if it works, it...

I just came across this I just can't find the individual bulbs for eventual swapping. There's also a 200watt version that comes at 99euros but with two different bulbs, one for veg and one for bloom. The leds sure look proffessionnal, but I know they really aren't. So if you think I'd get...

I came across this kind of cfl too. maybe this would be better for one plant? I'd buy the veg and swap it out but I'm not sure if it's really needed. I use 2 20watts floodlights for my 13days old seedling and I think it's doing great! Do you think I can get away with only the flowering light?

Neat idea! Any expericence growing with this kind of setup? Will it get me through flower with dense enough buds in the end? I grow my seedling under two 20watts floodlights, do you think buying like 4 more would do the trick? the best quality/price ratio is what I'm after!

Well I don't need much quantity and don't plan on having more than one auto in a small diy cabinet (2x2x4), but I'm not looking forward to airy buds either. I want to go with whatever is gonna give me the best results with my cheap ass budget but 120watts sounds like it's in the right ballpark...

Like harware store cfls? what kind of wattage? Is there someting specific I should consider expect the "K" light temperature? Will it get me better yield and better bud density than a 300watt grow led?

Hello! I started to clear things out in another thread but I'd like some more input before actually buying it and building my cabinet. For now, the main things I'm aware off are: Leds are supposed to be more efficient than HPS Cheap leds may not last me a while amazon growlight usually run at...

@bezalom Just checked them out and they are WAY over my budget and come from america so I'll have that huge import fee up the ass.:? Thanks for the recommandation but I just can't afford them. This is intended to be a low cost solution for a temporary setup. (maybe 3years max until I move out...

Okay I went and looked through everything. These are all my options. I already can see that except if the 1000watt vander is really lying a lot (the price seems CRAZY) two plants are out of question. So in theory I'll go for 300watts and one plant! Still plenty! (If I go for the least expensive...

@Gentlemencorpse Allright! Things are starting to get a lot more understandable now! I'd go with the cfl but I assume they get hotter than leds and as I have to make My cabinet around 60x120x120cm or 2x4x4' max that might be a problem. My seedling is in open air right now and it's not liking my...

@Fubard oops, you posted when I was writing haha like I didn't write enough of a novel already :) Looks really good! I'm good with an iron for stuff like guitar wiring and guitar effect pedal electronics but I'm not ocmfortable at all around dangerous voltage/amperage. I'll stick with what I...

Gentlemencorpse: Yeah a small tent would work. Now I can't deny I started this idea because I'm a DIY freak so, of course, just a few days of thinkering about made me forget the trashcan idea as the homemade cabinet speaks to me on a spiritual level :mrgreen: I started to work on it with...

@JohnDee I raised the light a little bit because the edges of the leaves were starting to curl up, it doesn't seem to have slowed it down though. It's getting a bit taller but the nodes are still pretty close together, not leggy at all, so I'm very happy about this! And I'll note that thing...

I have a safe place for it to flower in the countryside. I know I won't be able to care for it much, but the job is already so botched I prefer to just let it do its thing and focus on my 10day old northern light auto seedling. This lil 10days old seedling is bigger than this one was when it was...

bumpiddy bump?

well It's an autoflower so light schedule isn't the determining factor here :/ and I know it's entering flower because of the white pistils she's been popping out the last few days. I can't really put lights around it because I grow outside and on top of there being no electricity acessible in...

okay thanks. It's actually not drooping. They point up during the day but it was like past 8pm when I took the picture so she got ready for sleep I'm glad it's not that bad! But I'm prepared for a low yield. It's already entering flowering yet it's so small. ^^

I just went to take a newer pic and it keeps going. I'm not sure what it's all about. I don't mind this plant being a fucking mess even though I'm still a bit sad about it... It's my first grow after all. But I want to learn from my mistakes so this doesn't happen again with the one I just...

well she certainly looked fine but it's not really the case anymore... :( plus the growth have been really slow due to the shitty weather that was overcast 70% of the time. here it is now, in all it's burnt glory. It started showing pistils too so it's gonna flower soon and it's still so small...
