Ok so i have a very limited space. My box is about 1 foot wide and 2 feet tall. I only plan on gorwing 1 LowRyder2 at a time. So i was thinking about 2 CFL's. Are CFL's thpse spiral bulbs. If yes than i would put 2 of them in there.
But i am worried about them heating up and starting a fire
Dose anybody know any bulbs that wont heat up or minimul heat
Dang! 2 foot height? Not much!. Pot will be 6", light (CFL) will take about 4-5" leaves just over a foot for the plant. (unless killer LST)
CFLs are the spiral style. General description of a CFl, is a floro that screws into a normal lamp socket.
I haven't grown the LR2 (kinda like the auto flowering aspect, but also like to tweak and tell when to flower and take clones)
I measured a CFL (right at the 90 degree bends back into the ballast) and got about 160F. I have burned leaves with a CFL. No fire, but the leaf sure didn't like it! Only one or 2 leaves lost. Further out to the 'tip' it was cooler. I didn't measure it, but could hold it in my hand, so less then 110F (ish)
I know its no great help, but at least a few tid bits of info.
Hope for all girlies for ya!
