that will grow your plants but you won't be happy with the end results. if you want buds like in the pics then u need supplies like in the pic.

what kind of supplies? and I can't run actual grow lights in my bedroom cuz I pretty much do every thing in my room but I am going to use the rest of my 4 13w CFL lights

why not another room?

You need to get like a 250w hps light or a bunch more cfls

well. ph meters, ph up/down, good nutes for veg and flower, and most importantly lights, im using about 10,000 lumens total floro set up and im quickly finding that it won't cut it. to grow anything worth mentioning u need hid's, but if you absolutly cant do the bigger lights get more CFls, ideal lumens is 10000 per sq foot of grow area. check out the first link in my signiture to check out my floro grow.

I have 7,200 lumes so far

well ask mom to borrow another room.

 

[LoudBlunts]

what about running another circuit to your room to handle the increased power????

well ask mom to borrow another room.

we don't have a nother room, we live in a trailer

 

[FrostickZero]

I have 8 plugs in my room 1 of them is on a 1 braker and the rest is on a nother braker and I can't do that because the walls are gona have to get ripped down and we already have 2 brakers in here and our place runs on 2 tube fuses and if some things gona trip the braker it just goes past the braker and blows the fuse

I dont want to sound like an ass but you cant spell trailer. How old are you?

 

[LoudBlunts]

i still dont think 250 or 400 watt will be too much

now take that and divide it by the number of sq ft your growing in and thats how many lumens you have per sq ft. not very much.

 

[Whiz Bang]

How big is your grow area? Thats enough for your 5 plant grow, depending upon size of area.

1,800 sq ft.
