hey this is my first grow in a 4x2x4ft closet and im using just stuff i can find laying around to start my grow ( i dont have any money ) next week im gona go to home depot and grab some CFL's. right now im using 2 40 watt tubes and one 25 watt fL that i found sitting around. any advice on 1 lights to grab and im using just bagseeds ive got nothing special. first time grow not looking for anything amazing just a smoke for now. so any advive please? http://forum.grasscity.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
i started my grow with T8 fl lights and they worked great. i kept them extremely close to the plants (about an inch) i kind of got impatient with the whole process and purchased 2 26 watt 6700k cfl's and they LOVED that light... so i would say to check out the bulb adapters that go straight into a outlet plug and use a powerstrip (assuming you have one laying around) and pack as many cfls as you can onto it. someone else on here had an amazing grow like that (cant find the post) but try that! and dont forget about craigslist, i picked up a 400w MH light with a conversion HPS bulb for 100 bucks what you have now will also be sufficient until they get bigger
yep that stuff and dont forget socket splitters and daylight for veg, soft white for flowering a fan too
Home depot carries 300 watt cfls that fit a standard socket. I use them with much success in pc box to start my outdoor grow.
