oh alright you dont need an mh then..those cfls are all you need to have mother plants or just for veg until they go under the 400..

yeah i know. im hoping these two will perk back up again now that theyre in bigger pots. the roots were already bound to the walls of the old pots so thats probably why they were starting to wilt...

im gonna place my order next week and if im lucky ill order another pack of seeds..hopefully the 2 suspected males can really show by then and i can dead them and the other 1 if it has balls too..then my main focus would be on the 4 i have in soil..

do these really plug into regular sockets? 105 Watt - CFL - Compact Fluorescent - Spring Lamp - Full Spectrum Daylight 6500K - MegaLight # S28105-65 Light Bulb

if your socket is good enough to hold over 60 watts then you can plug it ,screw it whatever you need to..

i think ill just go to home depot tomorrow and get 4 socket splitters and 4 more 42w... then ill put those 4 along with the 2 65w in the tent so ill have almost 20k lumens in there and then 2 23w and 2 42w for the NL which is like 8k lumens...

you should have a bright white tent..lol..i gotta get that cooltube and fan next week so i can drop it on my plants and they can absorb all of the 400..hopefully they dont take long to show preflowers...
