  1. Two weeks into flower (bag seed) I'm using fox farm flowering nutes is there anything else I should do or just let her grow? I need to invest in some florescent side lighting on my next payday but till then how does the plant look overall?

  2. Its beautiful. Exactly what type of lights are you using? Are they cfl or regular fluoros? How many watts per bulb? And how expensive are your nutes?
     
  3. CFL 23 watts per bulb 2 plants for a total of ten bulbs so 230 actual watts nutes are about twenty bucks for a big bottle and im assuming the bottle will last for years considering the amount you get

  4. Are they daytime or soft white or warm white?
     
  5. Switched to the 2700k ones for flowering

  6. So for vegging you use the 6500k daytime? How many bulbs for both 2700k and 6500 would you recommend for a single crop? I was thinking 2 or 3 each but im very low budget
     
  7. Yeah and minimal 100 actual watts per plant to get somewhat good growth and it really depends on the size of your area you need from what I've read at least 3500 lumen per square foot I'm running 8250 lumens per square foot now more the better but there is over kill also the sun is 10000 lumen square foot as a reference

  10. I've noticed the cheap cfl have less lumens same wattage used though so make sure to pay the extra couple bucks

  11. Also you should cover your walls with something reflective like foil . It keeps the light dirrcted towards the plant which is what im doing with a box and aluminum. I figured i can save a few dollars and opt for a 4x23w daytime
