When I used CFLs I had a mixture of 8x26 and 2x125, and the plants would end up leaning towards to 125w bulbs even if they were say, twice as close to the 26w bulbs, say, if it were 2" from the 26w and 4" from the 125w. Leads me to believe the larger bulbs have more penetration, although if you're gonna use CFLS i guess you should LST or SCROG so I'm not sure how much that comes into play. I also noticed my smaller ones putting off more combined heat, or at least it felt that way to me. I stopped using 26w bulbs first (got 2 more 125w instead), and then stopppd using CFLs all together.

EDIT: my 125w were those Feliz "name brand" bulbs, so I'm not sure how much that mattered. My 26w were GE.

thats why if running big and small bulbs u place big ones overhead and small ones to the sides

way to be thorough. =)

I've got to paint the roof still. and put on a cabinet type door. or I might just velcro a flap around a hole on front. not sure yet.

I didn't pick the most convenient place to grow the first go around, or containers. Moving things around was a bear, whether lights or fans or plants.

It's nice to be out of the closet, lol.

yep moving up to a bigger area is great after being cramped
 
I wouldn't be surprised if those are actually beneficial. They are not fungus gnats, spider mites, thrips, aphids, or any of the other typical destructive pests. Copy and paste of general soil arthropod info.

THE LIVING SOIL: ARTHROPODS

Many bugs, known as arthropods, make their home in the soil. They get their name from their jointed (arthros) legs (podos). Arthropods are invertebrates, that is, they have no backbone, and rely instead on an external covering called an exoskeleton.

Arthropods range in size from microscopic to several inches in length. They include insects, such as springtails, beetles, and ants; crustaceans such as sowbugs; arachnids such as spiders and mites; myriapods, such as centipedes and millipedes; and scorpions.


Nearly every soil is home to many different arthropod species. Certain row-crop soils contain several dozen species of arthropods in a square mile. Several thousand different species may live in a square mile of forest soil.


Arthropods can be grouped as shredders, predators, herbivores, and fungal-feeders, based on their functions in soil. Most soil-dwelling arthropods eat fungi, worms, or other arthropods. Root-feeders and dead-plant shredders are less abundant. As they feed, arthropods aerate and mix the soil, regulate the population size of other soil organisms, and shred organic material.

any idea how to kill the wee bastards
 
For my ONE plant I'm using 12 26w CFLs... Personally I would get 3 26w(100equiv) for the top, and 2 extra for the sides when ur plant gets tall...So for now u only need to buy 3, then in a few weeks save some funds or sell ur lego toys and buy 2 more..
 
i can't paint my cabinet white, my mom would get mad at me, it's an antique came from my moms parent.

i thinking of sticking some bond paper on it though i'm risking the factor of it might get burned and my mom will really shit me out of it.

and for sure she will never ever let me again to smoke pot and plant pot.

we have this but it has 4 sockets. i only bought 1 incandescent bulb (got drunk last night and spend my cash on drinks, and other stuff darn).

the problem with the 4 socket thing bulb is how will i get it from out chandelier.(i am really serious on how will i get it without getting noticed by mom and the helper here, but my mom will get mad if she finds out.

With that said, your mom will find out about 4 light sockets missing from her light. if ur buying beer, you my as well save the cans, and cut them to be reflectors for the light. superglue a socket and Y to ur can and wabazaam! you have a hillbilly stand off.. thats what i call it anyways
