i have 3X42 watts, 3X26 watts and 5X13 watts. the smaller 13's are just for the side growth, i have them spread out around the plant. so runnin around 250 watts, give or take

no, this is my first CFL grow. i would say i spent less than 30 dollars on all the bulbs and extension cords i bought. i bought 2 clamp lights with small hoods around them and put 42 watters in there. there are many cheap alternative to just buying the T5 or T12 shop flouro lights. the key is to just positioning them around the plant in the right spots so all the buds and branches are getting plenty of light. i just used some socket-to-bulb- converters (around 80 cents a piece at Ace Hardware) and some Ysplitters to put 3-5 bulbs at the end of extension cords around the plant. it looks a little ghetto, but its producing some nice crystally bud. heres a photo taken yesterday;

i vegged for about 8 or 9 weeks i think. made the plant pretty tall, and kind of skinny. next time i would go for a couple weeks less. this is the only one i have, i started with 3, one being male and the other just not healthy. couple weeks to go. more and more pistils are turning brown/amber every day
