im growing 1-2 plants for just personnal smoke what i have will be listed below please reply and leave any useful info.
1. stealth grow box (wooden)
2. 3 13 watt cfls i realize that these watts suck but i am only going to use them until i can get transportion to the nearest wal mart to pick up the 40watt cfls i found they cost $13 is this normal price and for 1-2 plants would 2 40watt cfls work?
3. in the grow box i put a piece of cardboard with mylar stapled to it and i did the same with the top of the box i couldnt put it on the sides because i ran out of mylar although i may be picking another roll of mylar rapping paper which i already am using
4. the 40watter cfls i found are called ultra bright cool white and i found the same wattage soft white in different packages at the same price which is better?
5. i have soil but the soil name is unknown i believe it will be good because i am putting rocks at te bottom for better drainage and it haas a little of perlite and some wood spliters not alot tho
6. i have 2 light fixtures screwed to the top of the box which closes over the top of the box the one light fixture is a duel light fixture for a fish tank ex. below

GOOD LUCK ON UR OWN GROW PEACE :peace:
 
i forgot to add the 40watter cfls i found it says they put out 2600 lumens but i was just browsing again online on www.walmart.can and i found a t4 45watt cfl for $17 is 1 of these 45watters and a 13watter (all cfls) better then 2 40watters and is the 4 dollars extra worth the extra 5 watts also 45watt cfl says it puts out 3000 lumens is it worth 400 lumens for a extra 4 dollars?
 
my grow is stealth and i do not have very much ventalation (which i will fix to make some ventalation and i may buy a small portable fan p.s my budgit is tight
 
hi i need to find how to make my wooden box into a stealth grow box the grow box hight, width, and depth is in inches hight is 7.1-7.5" width is 15.5-15.7" and the box is 14.4-14.6" deep i know these demenstions suck but this is the best i can do these demenstions are mot including the lights hanging off the top of the box which is approx. 2-3 inches im guessing the plant im doing i will be trying to make a bushy plant and because of the hight restrictions and i will be doing LST to the plant and i may make it go around my pot the roots r in like in another thread ive read and seen pic of
 
nobody has any help all i need to know is for a LST small 1-2 plant grow how many watts should i use the light will be 4-2 inches off the plant and im wondering if a 45w equal to 200w would this burn the plant? same with the 40w eaual to 150w wouldnt this should i use 26w's?

Dude buy lamps that have the most Wattage the more the better ...
light cant burn ur plants... thats the heat btw keep the light in an proper distance from the foliage so u dont get shitty burns...
so get as much watts & lumens as you can... + provide your plants the proper spectrum (cool white 4 vegging & warm white 4 flowering)
Don't worry about buying strong wattage lamps because they just make your crops bigger :blsmoke:
I hope i helped.... :peace::peace::peace:
