okay this is my 1 st indoor closet grow, i would love to go bigger and better but due to lack of funds, i'm just doing it like this. One 2 ft flo but i upgraded and took out the original flotube and for like 8 bucks at wal mart i purchased the plant tube.Okay the clone of Romulan i have was dying is now thriving well.i'm in veg and plan on flowering in a week or two.My plant is only at a good foot tall and a foot wide. I am trying to just get some buds soon,but do i have enough light to grow some good smoke.:joint::peace: peace.:blsmoke:

ok you need to get a better light (which gives more lumens) or you not going to be able to flower , your buds are going to be airy as i call it....if you have 40 bucks then your good...go to home depot or wal mart and pick up a couple of 150 watt bright white or 100watt bright whiote CFLs they put out atleast 2600 lumens each make sure you put them 1 to 2 inches from your plant and have a fan on them. you need atleast 10,000 lumens to flower and collect a good amount of herb.

those plant lights are a scam they are made to make the plant look better/greener/healthier but in reality the key word is LOOK, you'd be better off with a regular tube, trust me. i'd like to see a pic of your plant/s, I'm really hoping for you that you didnt make the mistake of keeping the lights way to far away too. how far are you keeping your light from the plant?

Hey thanks for the comments.Well she is growing still not quite as fast i would want but since yesterday it's grown another couple inches.I have a couple cfls but no lamps or anything to hook em up too.So i am gonna go look at the store today.She has over 35 leaves on like around 15 branches Kalen2.So thats not bad.

look for y splitters, you shouldnt use the plant light tube or the flouro tube unless they are both mounted level from each other if you insist on using them but I strongly believe you have nowhere near enough light to grow anything worth the time and effort at all, probally under an 1/8 of fluffy stretched buds by the time it done drying. cfls do much better than tubes, get like 8 26w or 23w or 30w 2700k cfls,some come in packages of 4 and cost about $6-7 each price and what they have depending on where you go but look for those and they should have something that meets that criteria, i'd prefer 30w's but if all you can find are 23w or 26w those will work to. Get 4 y splitters and 4 reflective clamp lights. now your ready to get a decent amout of nice smoke,
