alright so im about to start my first grow and im stoked to see what kinda buds i can get going. it has to be very stealthy. im gonna grow one plant in a 2.5 x 2.5 x 4 box. problem is that i cant have any wires going to it. i saw some flourescent tubes at home depot that were battery operated. however they are only 8 watts!. is this strong enuff? or will i need to get like 4 of em? Thanks for any help ya have! any tips are welcome
battery opperated lights are almost useless when you try to grow with them. the batteries will run out after like a day, and the rule of thumb is 100 watts per plant. check out kamels cfl guide.
yes, you need a certain amount of lumens for your plant, your best off getting cfl's for your situation, use them is your stealthy box it will work great, cfls should be 3-6"s away from the plants, how many do u have growing? battery lights for growing weed is like putting water in a gas tank- no good mix
