First CFL Grow

[JN811]

if u invest in a 400 watt hps you could easily pull 1-3 ozs.. plus you could get rid of all those cfls

3 days until flower!

now thats the size ur looking for!

Thinking of cutting the top 5 nodes off the biggest plant, and cloning it. is that a good idea? thinking about putting the clone + 2 other plants into flowering, but keeping the "mother" in veg in another part of the shed.

it depends on if you plant on investing on new lights...

 

[JN811]

what would u flower under?

 

[BrokeFYC]

I'd flower the 2 plants + 1 clone under 150w hps, with 46*4 cfls in additon.

 

[JN811]

yea that may work.. dont expect a huge yield with that but you can def. expect some bud

 

[JN811]

do you already have the hps?????

 

[BrokeFYC]

do you already have the hps?????

no.
planning on getting it day of flowering. actually, the 150 is only $86, and the 300 is 200+, could i get 2 150's?

 

[JN811]

go with the 400 watt from htgsupply.com .. they are VERY much supported here on RIU. I searched for weeks till i finally decided to get it. It works amazing and Im still using it today.. give me a second, ill find it for you, its like $140 after s&h

here it is..if anything goes wrong with it in ur first few weeks theyll mail u new shit for free! I yielded 7 oz from my first grow with 3 plants with just this light and a fan!!

 

[JN811]

just wanted to add they have LIGHTNING fast shipping and it is very discreet.. you def. cant tell its a light. 3 days to anywhere in the US

how long did you veg?

 

[JN811]

only like 3 weeks i think.. dude get it if u can have or can save the cash.. the light will absolutely pay for itself by harvest time plus much more

 

[BrokeFYC]

140 might be a bit of stretch for me to shell out in 2 days. Might have to stick with the 368 cfl watts i had planned.

 

[JN811]

alright well heres what ur missing out on..

 

[JN811]

you can always get one later if u decide to clone i guess.. peace.

 

[Smokey McSmokerson]

hahaha. listen to Dark and myself and you'll succeed! btw you will eventually need way more than 3 42 watts for every plant.. Light is SOOO crutial to the growing process, I really dont think u understand... Read this to understand it and ull be 100x better off..

Things to know about lighting


Approximate light production:
Incandescents: 17 lumens/watt
Mercury vapor: 45-50 lumens/watt
Fluorescents: 60-70 lumens/watt
Metal halide: 90 lumens/watt
High pressure sodium: 107 lumens/watt

How many lumens does an LED give off per watt?

 

[vonneffdobermans]

Quick question. How would one of the UFO LED lights do for an arewa 3x3 or at most 4x4?

And if known... which one is best for $$$... Tryin to save...

Thanks in advance
