:hug:Hello all, thanks for your time.

The dimensions of my closet are 3.5' x 4'
I have my clones on top vegging dual spectrum CFL 20/4 and underneath flowering 2700k 12/12.
I have been vegging this particular Jack Herer for roughly 2-3 months.
Currently I am onto day 12 of flower.
Any thoughts, questions, and suggestions fully acceptable.



cheers

these are the bulbs that you see in the flowering pictures.
almost 10 inches in length. they are 68w equivalent to 300watts.
I will follow up this post later this evening with more pictures once the lights come on.

how many watts u got on them ?

as far as now it looks very good . but i think u might have a heigh problem , as the plants usually multiplie thier height in flowering .
make sure u have enough lights for flowering .
other then that , the plants looks pretty healthy mate ..

Thanks for the reply,
I JUST now added 2 y splitters, i plan to add 2 more of those 68w 2700k 4500 lumen bulbs. For a total of 4.
But as of now I only have the 2. I have a fluro shining on the bottum as well, a smaller t8 i believe.
I do realize more light is better. I just haven't gotten around to getting more. I will very soon though.

Looking rightous my brother, keep them photos comming, I want to see some big ass buds. with those mega floros be carefull of the heat. You can keep adding bulbs, then at a certain point, if you dont have the ventelation, wham! you have a heat issue. Just a heads up of what happened to me.

This is the shit that gets me stoked and keeps me motivated. I was looking at those big flouros at borg depot, I was wondering about the heat. I had to take the reflectors off my 26 watt clamp lights, cause I was concentraiting more heat than light and my amnesia and aurora din like it If it works out for you maybe I'll give it another look. Thanks for the heads up, I'll definatly be checkin in on this.

bro, i'm telling you... these bulbs beast.
roughly $15 for 4,500 lumens.
they are 68w.
i'm going to get some t5's dual spectrum eventually for this closet. and then eventually long term use them strictly for my cloning.

thx for the input. +rep for u my friend
