yA im pre sue those are cfls if im not mistaken but the spiral is inside.. if there nots cfls get rid of those and get 42w 6500k cfls around 2600 lumens each.. your plant will grow way better with 42w cfls .. cuz if your going to grow you might as well get sommme material at the end lol.... you could fit probs 5-6 23w 6500k cfls and that would be very nice for that size space when i started my stuff indoor i used 8 23w 6500k cfls , 8 42w 6500k, 1 45w 4100k cfl , 4 2700k 42w cfls , so about 45000 lumens... and thats for only 4 plants!
Already established that they are CFLs. Regarding wattage, i think there must be a maximum cap where I am as I can't find anything higher than 20W locally. Otherwise i'll be having to fork out $20 per bulb + postage.
Quick update: Seed has been planted under lights for about 5 days now. No sprout as of yet, but I dug a bit of soil aside to reveal the seed (VERY gently) to see how it's doing. The root has tapped down quite far, and looks very secure. Not pushed up yet but it's looking good!
you dont acaully need to have the lights on when it hasent popped yet ... its acaully alot better to make a humidity dome for them and put a black tshirt over em and it keeeps them at a slighly higher temp wich is good.. you can try it if you want .. 5 days is also awhile for a seed not to sprout mine took 30 hrs... i know evreyone has diffrent results but wait like 5 or so more days and if it hasent popped start some new seeds do like 3-4 seeds cuz than you have better ods of good genetics and them popping fast... you could do 2 plants in there just have to keep em mini... supercrop , lst,, are your freinds. and topping
It's the same here, I can't find anything above 23W in the shops here. However it's easy to find cheap bulbs online. I recently replaced my single 20W bulb with a 105W, which set me back a total of £28 (nearly $40) but about $25-30 of that was the fact I got it shipped from another country, so you should be able to find one for a decent price where you are. 3x20W should be fine though, as long as you're not looking for a huge harvest. Looking forward to seeing more pictures
If you can, please do feel free to PM me the store link for that bulb. Just to update, A few days ago it still hadn't sprouted so I checked on the root... And it hasn't budged!! So I've placed 3 seeds in kitchen towel again, so hopefully I'll get a proper root to work with this time. However, it's been 5 days now and none have popped... I'm trying to remain patient!! Peace all
If I'm understanding your pic correctly all of your fans are intake and the mesh grid is the output for air? thats backwards, thats going to create a lot of positive air pressure inside the case. basically, your carbon filter's not gonna work since the air will be coming out of every possible crack and leak in the case. you want passive INTAKE and active exhaust.. but with 3 exhaust fans you're gonna need 3 of those carbon filters.
Yeah man each fan is on a seperate plug so when the plant enters flowering I can turn them off to achieve what you said. I had read about this and took it into consideration - thanks for bringing it up though! Meanwhile, here is a quick picture just from my phone. Hopefully second time is more successful!
Your seeds sound shitty, it can be hard to germinate in paper towel sometimes, I find making it a little more damp is usually best. Keep it covered with something, keep it nice and humid if possible.
You're right man, not the best!! One nirvana ak48 seed died, one still hasn't popped after a week. Turns out the afghan bagseed was the first to pop! Fingers crossed...
I had trouble with Nirvana Chrystal femmed seeds. I got 3 out of 5 but 1 of those died. Good luck though bro. Have u thought about a DWC system?? Checkmine out Below
After a lot of patience... A root. When i plant it tomorrow, do i put it straight under lights, or can i leave it on a windowsill until it breaks the soil? Thanks in advance DD
