Nuts

DONT PISS IN UR PLANT BRO YOU WILL PROLLY KILL IT AT THAT STAGE! And besides, do you really want to someday smoke your PISS?!! Get some bloodmeal like Stoney McFried said, or another one for nitrogen is Worm Castings, but i am telling you its not lack of nutes, its lack of TLC! get some 5000k Clfs bro and if your going to stick with cfls for flowering get some 2700k, but i recommend HPS if your going cheap i have seen some awesome grows done on a 150 watt hps, much more dense nugz than you will ever get with cfls.

I got dozens of CFL's laying around here... the ones im using are 75 or 100 watt equivelant... how do i know which "K" or specturm they are?

They should say on the box.Some say on the bulb or the base if your lucky.One or the other, I'm too stoned to look it up.

OH! But the warm white will have more of a red glare to them, and the cool ones are a bluish white.

well i looked at that page and i did not see any of the specs we are looking, i know your short on cash bro but if you could spare 5 bucks at walmart you can get what you need as far as a starter bulb. may even be able to get a whole pack of 5 or 6 for 5 bucks, not sure i dont use cfls...unless for side ligthing.

cfls aren'y going to do shit unless you have a 500 of them hanging up above your plants.

 

[greenearth5]

im a college student and so im only broke for the holidays... ill have some cash just b4 Christmas to get the proper cfls and nuts or soil.... whatever is under 50 bucks... that will tie me over till the end of jan when i will get a pro light ... so all i need is something to tie me over untill then

quite the contrary my friend a single cfl has raised my baby from sprout to a foot tall woman in a month

 

[greenearth5]

this bulb is a "GE HELICAL 23 WATT FLE26HT3/2/SW/CD"

I cant find much out about it but i know it is 1700 lumens and it is soft white

Maybe this means something

 

[vantheman169]

Cfls will produce some dank nugz but it will require more work cuz you have to adjust light height and stuff like that but, sounds like you got a plan let us know if you need any help!!

Im using two of these light bulbs... do you think this is enough lumens (3400 lumens total for 2 bulbs) for my plants...im using a 2x3x7 closet... and are these in the right light spectrum since they are "Soft White"

thanks bro

 

[greenearth5]

My blueberry plants thank you all

 

[getwrecked]

but not flower, gonna need alot more

 

[greenearth5]

what do you mean?

 

[mauichronic808]

keep your lights on 18 hours like and 6 dark for a long time.

 

[greenearth5]

I just set them on a 18on and 6off period starting last night.... my timer is messed up so i gotta get a new one.. also my grow room is 6sq ft.... im looking at profesional lights... cant decide between a dual ballast so that i can just switch out bulbs or go with a 250/400 hps and/or a 250/400 mh light... any sugestions? Also i would like to get some sort of carbon scrubber too hook up for it....

170 bucks?????

every place i been looking at has one 250HPS bulb/ballast for that price alone.... this is 400 dual with both bulbs and a timer for that price... holy shit.. thanks dude

 

[Stoney McFried]

Yeah, the one bulb is a switchable MH, and that can be used in the 400 watt hps ballast.It is a pretty good deal.And it's not hard to assemble.No wiring, you just plug it in.

[greenearth5]
