New CFL Grow

Bagmouth · Feb 10, 2008

My first grow.... right now i have a 110w high output t5 ballast 10,000 lumens. I will be adding 4 54w sun baze strip lights 5,000 lumens each=30,000 lumens. I have bought red spec for each bulb for flower 3000k and i am using 6500k for veg. im using Mg soil and Mg for veg and flower. How many plants can i maintain and get a decent yeild using these lights and lumens. I will update with pics of my grow and room weekly. I love this site and thx to everyone for advice.

Hi Bag...

Congrats on the new light...

A couple thoughts..

1. make sure your cups have drainage.. I wold recommend transplanting to 1-3 gallon containers 3-5 days after germination.
2. flower early... that light will not sustain BIG buds on plants that are vegged with more than 6 nodes
3. Get rid of that black garbage bag... swap it out for a white garbage bag... black is bad..

cheers
and thanks for the pictures!

ok black is gone.... that light is by itself right now only for a couple of weeks. i have 4 more t5 4ft 54w high output strip lights to add during veg.
that makes a total of 30,000 lumens and 326w. How long do u think i can veg with those lights and how many plants? i will update pics as soon as i install the other 4 lights.. thx soo much 4 reply and advice, i am very new @ this and need all the help i can get
