I say you might be fine.... You have see what it does at the end... I don't much since I'm a noob but it does look fine to me... And from what I'm hearing most autos go longer then what is said so they might ake an extra 2 weeks to swell up...did you ever get a fan in there
Thanks hopefully you're right my friend, also still no fan, my friend is abit tight he won't spend any of his money and expects me to buy everything

Damn...we'll by not having a fan on the light that might mean it's not really putting out 120 like it's stated. Which in any case is not always a bad thing... But that might cus a problem for long term use... I wouldn't mind using a cheap light but I would buy a few of them as you did.. The main thing for you I would say is get a fan on your plant and be ready ready to go a few more weeks longer...for a cheap light I say it's doing great

Normally I would say fuck them cuz of the price but you can't beat 40 watts for a dollar...I just how somebody else didn't get the same idea lol
But... I did, though. :)
Gonna try some outdoor this year but I had some nice success with 6x 42 watt CFL. Got 'em from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for a dollar each I think, so I just had to try.

And nice job, Bush Master. Due to the nature of CFLs, I do a little topping and a tiny bit of training to get as many buds as possible up near the top of the plants, keeping the lights as close as possible. That way I don't get one massive cola, but I do get a bunch of smaller ones that are still pretty big. I suppose a basic scrog would work well to utilize CFL output. Looks like you had a great first grow, and it only gets easier and better as you go.

Yeah adding a few cfls will always help but you still got to manage the heat...try your dollar store and see what you can find

It's probably the delivery that bumps the price up for you. You can still get some 30-60watt cfls for around 6-8$ a pup. Search for "cfl bulb watt" and then sort by price+shipping
