    That AK-47 looks pretty good, but two things you need to make sure of:
    1) the nutrients should be low in N and high in P an K.
    2) what wattage are those CFL's? I'm pretty sure you're gonna need many more lights depending on the size of your plant and how many watts those CFLs are. A good place to get new bulbs is www.1000bulbs.com

    The 250 hps that is 2 to 3 inches away from the plant is air cooled right? Or can you do that by just cooling the room with a bunch of fans?

    "The 250 hps that is 2 to 3 inches away from the plant is air cooled right? Or can you do that by just cooling the room with a bunch of fans"

    i have a 250 watt floralux and i have an exaust fan ( 6" computer fan) blowing hot air from reflector outside. i also have another 6 inch fan blowing across the tops of my plants. my plants have gotten as close as 3 inches from the glass without burning. they may have been able to get closer but i didnt wanna risk it.

    i havnt put the hps lamp over it, i tried putting it in but it got to hot. and cus its only a attempt at growin i dont really want to spend money on fans and things, but it seems to be growing ok with clf's.
    can anyone guess the amount of bud i mite get from it??
    thanks

    fans arent hard to get. just get an old computer or something. i say if u spent the money on thelight u may as well spend a couple more dollars to get dank ass bud.

    the lights are on at night so dont really want a fan keeping me up all night, i think i mite just hav this grow as a practice to see what i can get from a plant in a box :rolleyes: and then get all equipment if its not succesfull:eek:
