  1. It's legal to grow where I live, but I don't have a ton of money to be spending from the start. I am a sorta noob. Ive grown outside and indoor once. I have 13 babies that just have been planted 2 days ago. I have a room that is 66degrees F, with a fan venting to a window. All white sheets are hung up with reflector paper around the center. I have 2 4' T5 fluro that produce 32watts each, 2700k and 3000 lumenes each. Then I have 4 cfl's. 2 of them are 23watts 6300k with 1500 lumenes each. and the other 2 are 60watt 2700k with 3000 lumenes each.

    Do you guys think this is going to be enough light?
     
  2. I used to think that might be enough. My first grow was 14 CFLs over 7 plants...with numerous other environmental factors stressing my plants. My tallest plant at harvest was a foot and a half tall. Yikes I know. Right now I am doing 12 over 2. 1 El Dorado and 1 Blue Mystic and both are at 1 month bigger than any other plant I ever had by the time harvest came. Much healthier, thicker stalks, 9 leaf sets at 3 weeks old! (I got ONE 7 leaf set in my old grow...never a 9..) With CFLs your gunna need as much as possible and Im barely putting out enough for the 2 I have to give me a decent closet crop...gunna try to get a low watt HPS around tax time. In case you havent gotten my suggestion...more lights in my honest opinion.

    Good Luck.
     
  3. Okay thanks! I will work on getting more as fast as i can.
