Indoor closet grow // CFL's

hotsauc3 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-10-2005, 02:59 AM

So far me and my buddy have 3 bag seeds germinated and planted. CFL's, 2 heat lamps, and a large grow light. We're getting another 5 female clones and some more free bag seeds (hopefully get a few females from those.) Post pics in a bit this is just an introductory post. Because of all the wires and lights we may just grab a few long floros to put in the top of the closet.

4 CFL's
2 heat lamps
1 Veg light, 120watt pro'grow
1 Large fan
1 moisture checker
Box of miracle grow
string (to train the plants

)
Rubbing alcahol diluted with lots of water just incase any pesty mites get in there

Hopefully if we run across any problems I can diagnose them early. Any help from city growers is appreciated!
(pics posted starting tmr) Thanks for your time.

Heat lamps dont do jack shit. They will just fry up your plant like fucking crazy. Smash them out in the middle of the road for cars to drive over.

For veg, get soft white or cool white. If you buy warm white it wont grow as fast because there is more light in the red spectrum then in the blue spectrum. Buy warm white for flowering. Cool/soft white for veg. Whatever. I did a whole grow with soft white CFLs. 2 26watt soft white CFLs and my plant was about 18 inches when it finished.

Consider them smashed.

It says on the box or if there is check for the levels of Kelvin or K. If it's 4000 and below it's considered warm which is for flowering and if it's 5000 and higher it's considered cool which is for vegging...

When picking, just make sure your veg lights are high kelvin temp, 6500 is most common. Flower lights should be low, 2700 is what most soft whites are. In between is useless yellow and green light, and aren't as efficient. Beware cool white tubes, I see a lot that are actually like 4200k which sucks. Best veg bulbs are labeled daylight.
