I got 2 question newbie questions I've been running 3 25 watts one 5000k & the other 2 2700k the yellow kind of looking one .. My first question is the yellow kin of ones raise the light bill or is the same as the bright white 5000k ? Cause since I put those 2 yellow ones my bill wen up to 630$ and I also just run the little 2 fans in there . My other question is I'm trying 2 grow 12/12 for space restriction and light bill .. So my question about Jutes is I'm trying grow just 2 plants is my 2 grow my 1 grow didn't go as well due to a heat problem I hAd .. So my question is what's te best nutes I can get off of eBay & affordable since I'm in a budget .. Pleased help

Add a outtake fan at the top somewhere and add a intake fan at the bottom. Also what are you growing inside of? I have 8 cfls 4 of them are 6500k and 4 are 3500k running on two power strips and inside a cardboard box. I havnt used anything but miracle grow soil and compost soil.

you want something that's not going to over due it like 20-20-20 ive seen in the threads seems to work good in veg. stage but changes to something different when you go to flowering stage

screw the nutes ... let me get this straight ... 5 small cfl's and 2 small fans raised your lightbill to 630 dollars ???? you better check your neighbors house ... sounds like hes ran a cord somewhere and is growing much more than you are ..................................
