ive read alot but im either to stoned or too dumb to figure this out. i have a 16" x 16" x 3' box . i want to grow one plant at a time ( just personal use) what light bulb do i need and what fixture for that bulb do i need. i got fem seeds germinating so im jus about ready to gro ... please help
Take a look at my grow, all of your questions are answered here man. 2700k coloured bulb for flowering (red) 6500k coloured bulb for vegging (blue) (you can mix them and go full spectrum if desired) and I'd say your going to need at least two 42w CFL's to pull it off.
thanks man just one more question if ya dont mind. should i run 2 of each at a time or just one for veg and one for flowering?
since you have three feet of vertical growth... use only the 6500k till your plant has about six inches of growth and then only use the 2700k bulbs
6 inches tall from the soil to the top of the plant, the plant can double or triple in size by the time its done flowering and ready for harvest. I have had 12 inch plants finish out around 40 inches at harvest time
