if you angle those lights youll get more use out of them...the sides give of more light

i finally made a hood that holds three lights and the i got the other 2 on the ends of the hood pics will be posted in alil bit but how is the set up u think it will be good enough for 4-5 plants

jonboy30 · Oct 5, 2009

if i'm not mistaken, i c 5 lights...making that 1 light per plant? No, i dont think this will be sufficient..

yea im gonna prlly buy like 3 more 65w CFLs they seem to be really good for filling a small area with lots of light but very costly at 18.00 a piece

i grew this plant with 1- 100 watt bulb form seedling and occasionaly i had a 60 w plant light shine on the side of the plant but very rarely

jonboy30 · Oct 5, 2009

you'll be much more sucessful if your light is very close to the plant. btw...i dont condone theft...you can find cheaper cfl's at lowes...

lil thugging · Oct 5, 2009

yea but when you need shit in this economy ya gotta do risky shit sometimes but ill check lowes out

Hello new to the CFL thing to.

Lowes has a good selection of CFL's but so does Home Depot, add more light, I have a grow with 2 clones and and some babies just sprouting under CFL's and a 400watt but still seems like I need to add, I have a bubleponics system on the way, I may just order a 150 watt hps and use CFL as supplment lighting for the rsides.

I am new to the use of CFL just not 100% sure about it! it seem you end up adding more and more lights, need to be the right combination of CFL's and enough of them.

Do the Math that is the way to the right cfl combo I have herd that between 3200 and 4800 does nothing??? not sure on that one!, but like I said supplement your grow with a 150 wtt HSP light that should help.

Hate to say it but the plants don't look very full (bushy) is that from the using CF lighting or a lack of light penetration through to the foliage below? no offence please it just looks like you'll wouldn't get much off them sorry hope I am wrong.

Yea you have to increase your lighting to get a fuller plant out of it, to get above! what you harvested. A plant that size should have produced at the least between 300 to 500 grams may be a little less for indoor.

Oh well we live and learn I am having simular experiences with lighting but I am at the begining so this is my learning grow and first indoor.

My outdoor grow was looking bitchen then bud wroms and fly's and mold and the bud turn to shit and unsmokable Frack. Just trashed them Frack you can have no idea what it feels like till you have to do it!! it sucks since it would have produced at the least just over a 1/2 lb and in money trems that's about $1800 to $2000 maybe more Sucks not mention would have lasted me months or till the next grow FRACK.

Lighting bud and plant foot that's the way and the life.

Good luck I'll keep an eye for your grow.
