Ok. i was here last week and found out that i was no providing the right amount of light for flowring plants. Rookie mistake. hahaha.

anyways i went home and added 2-20W CFL to my already 6-18" fuor tubes. I found out that the cool white i was proving was not good for flowering so i added tese 2 CFL.

Now i want to add more. Has anyone ever used HID for flowring. I have two desk lamps that are HID's 20W each. Will this be ok to add or will it do nothing at all for my flowring plants.

Please some advise. my plants are now three weeks into flowring. i know i screwed up the start but i just want to try to fix the problem and see if i can bring out a bigger yeild than what i am expecting at the moment.

When I used cfl's I used to use 2 cool regular bulbs with 2 Growlux (namebrand) bulbs for balanced spectrum. It will work for both veg and grow fine enough.:)

thanks lucy. i have added 6-15w CFL's to my little girls and they seem to be loving it alot much. that is on top of the 6 fluor's i started with.

I'll stay in touch and let you knwo how they are going. They shoudl be ready in 4weeks or so. a few hairs have strated to go brown. They will get bigger in teh next 4 wks right? if not right now i'll end up with maybe an oz.

I've learned alot for my first try. the next ones will be even better.

Keep in touch.
