Turn the heat down in that room. If they are stretching, and u have the lights that close, either they are underwatered (hard to do in a DWC), or u have heat issues. Buy what u can afford, everyone starts somewhere, obviously Budsworth thinks everyone has access to a surplus of cash. Good luck bro

You need a surplus of cash to upgrade a little? Hit craigslist man and find a 250 hps. Bet you can get one for 60-80. You'll thank me later, it's something you'll have for a long ass time. If not, then get more floro's. You'll get some good smoke from em.

thanks for the info!
ok first..

i have no mo funding to buy all that n im doing a stealth grow!
my space is very minimal..
n second...
ive seen good results from a cfl bulb!!!

i currently have 2 150watt hps bulbs, but no ballasts =(
i can mack two from a gym!
i dnt think they work, but its worth a try!
they dont use it anyways!

wow i wouldve never guessed that heat does that?!?!
it probably is...
i have no temp guage, but my box is in an airconditioned room thats at 69 degrees 24/7.
ill probably fix up my lights so that i have a cooltube like thing!
all i need is the hose to redirect the hot air out of the box!

Did I not say you would get some good smoke from them??

But dude two 68's isn't jack shit. My computer monitor probably puts out more light than that (not really). When I grew with cfl's I had 10 in a 3ftx3ft square. It was fine for two plants to get about a half ounce each. Don't expect much from what you have. Sell those bulbs and buy something you can use.

haha hey the N's n M's are next to eachother so its a good chance ill hit em by mistake!

yeah its not much in there, but damn, theyre right under it n they still hug the bulbs!
i think one more 68 n a couple of 23 watters should be awesome..
n yes when i get the chance to be able to grow in an unconcealed location, then ill get the hps setup!
but for now, i need more opinions for this...
