well one thing that i noticed is that your going to need to move your lights once the plants grow because they will more than likely grow past that level where the lights are now and you dont want the lights to touch your plants

yeah i figured. what i did was hang the lights with some wire so i can adjust later. right now im using 3 x 26w x 2700k CFL is that good?

looks to me like the 120mm fan will be blowing across your plants, you may want to be careful untill they get a little bit of thickness to the stems, my buddys pc is set up kinda like that and he had to build ducts around the fan so the air current wasnt bending the little sprouts all the way in half. and like he said befor your gunna want a way to move thoes lights up as the plant grows. hope everything goes well for you.

Thanks guys. but trunk5 what did you mean by

build ducts around the fan so the air current wasnt bending the little sprouts all the way in half

basicly just build sumthing to block the direct air flow twards the plants untill they get stronger. hmm best way to put it. "fan--> []/ <-- angled piece of foam board to stop direct air flow"


that way there still is air circulateing around the case but its not blowing directly on the plants untill they get stronger and the stems can support them selfs under the wind of the fan.

oh ok. thanks man. gotch yea.

ive been trying to read around and find the solution to my answer but it seems that i can not find the answer.

Are 3 x 26w x 2700k CFL good bulbs to use? cause thats what im running.

im not too exp in cfl bulbs, but i know that should be ok for 2 plants to veg in that area, you may want to add another when its time to flower. im not completely sure others can probebly answer this better then myself but this is at least what ive read.

no u want to be running 6500k in there for veg those u have now are for flowring

u want a blue light for veg and a orange-red light for flowering

good idea but i know someone who did this and when they got home their room was on fire lol. I dont know how

is it ok for now? until i get the money for the new bulbs?

im thinking you should be ok, its just more advised to use the more blue light durring veg. but im thinking all the people who just use a simple hps light all the way thru thats more of the red orange spectrum and they do fine. i have bolth mh and hps. just waiting on these seeds to crack open and then ill start my log. but useing cfls i dont know for sure so id say get the other lights as soon as you can once they break thru the soil.

cool thanks guys. but you said fire????? how could that happen???? shortage, to hot, humidity?

you need 6500k temp lights... and its a start but its a mad small space.. i gotta see how this goes for you though. creative work.

you can follow my journal ill post it in my sig, but here it is https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/183584-1st-time-grow-pc-stealth.html

well most are electrical fires, some ive heard from hid lighting because the people had cardboard in there room and it cought up. just make sure you have proper ventilation to keep everything where temps should be at, and make sure all your connections are solid and taped off from anything else. quickest way to make a spark is put power to a direct ground, or any live wire to grounded metal. just take proper precautions and youll be just fine.

Yeah those 3 lights are good for vegging man. Dont worry. You can also flower with those if you want but if your temps can handle it at the time you will get more bud if you add another light... The thing mentioned above is over exagerated... Weed can crow with any spectrum cfl. Good luck!
