ohh nvm i thought maybe your old cfls were 60w as the first number, then like 60w = x
Like how your new 42w = 150w
does that make sense? lol just ignore me...

Duece.

this may be a stupid question.. but 560 watts of cfls.. why not just get an hps? its like 200 for a 1000watt (or at least 600watt) is the issue heat? .. cuz i keep my area cool with a 50 cfm bathroom fan from home depot (19.99) as well as a fan blowing on the plants towards the buds of course

ya the price is expensive for hps. the cfl cost me like 50$..lol im poor...but i am gona post pics on my plant later, its goten bigger because of the new lights.

when i water it (not today) im gona drain it, because all the chemicals i sprayed on the top to kill the bugs is gona hurt my plant.

the bugs are still there but i hope there gona go, im keeping the soil wet and i hera they dnty like wet ground.
