im not doing CFL :P im doing high pressure sodium, and maybe Metal halide... would i need metal halide, to make like the best bud i can? if not, i'd prefer to go without it to save some cash.

wow.. 0 answers. this is disappointing :P

and are you saying that if i was using 280 watts, i could grow multiple short plants, and the bud would still be good? because i want to try to grow some really like dank headies, and maybe sell some to friends, ya know?

Low stress train? and i was thinking about changing that to a 200 watt, and an 80 watt bulb, that shouldn't effect my phone bill too much, alothough electric is 18 cents/ kilowatt in New York im pretty sure.

mhh, i gotcha. its gonna be a long wait for this sativa. But im hoping i can make it turn out pretty good. and you're saying flower early to make sure the flowers get more penetration, and grow better?

I'm looking for specifics on it, i'm doing a closet grow, just one single plant, but i want it to be the best it can be. I'm growing in a roof closet where there is a downward slant, but as long as its under 4 feet it should be fine. how does a hanging 85watt (MH for sprouting, HPS for...

i defiantly want the densest buds and biggest nugs i can get, you think a 125w for 1 plant total would do good? The New York weed that most people i know can get is sour D at the best, and probably shitty sour D at that. I'm hoping to get like 300grams off a harvest of utopia, and for it to be...

haha you're pretty much my hero right now. i've seen the T-5's but i was thinking i want it to be the best i can get it, and its mostly for personal consumption, so i think i want to get a fe feminized Barneys farm utopia seeds, and grow a single one. it says it grows to be 3 feet tall, but an...

to be honest i was thinking that the air flow between my room with an a/c and closet may be enough, i can always open the closet, and of course i'd monitor the temperature, and if i got worried i'd put a cheap fan in there.

I appreciate this comment alot, i was originally planning on MH/ HPS but i honestly don't have the cash, and living with my parents this might cause a pretty big spike in electric bills. My budget is pretty much 450$ so im planning on growing three plants my first time, selling a good chunk of...

separate lighting, 250 from overhead, 85 from 2 sides facing in to hit the lower flowers, and make sure those buds develop.

CFL* sorry... its a compact flourescent light. that was bad spelling on my part

They make FCL grow lights... i was thinking maybe 400 watts (ish) and to switch from 6500k to 2700k once flowering starts.

Im going to attempt to grow 6 of these plants in my closet using CFL's. how many watts do you recommend I use, also which soil mix, and nutrition type? ( i live in New York, black gold doesn't ship here :( )

200 watts won't raise the temp much, the closet has large slits in the door, almost like a.. window shade. so air does circulate, and it would have to raise the temp 20 degrees to harm the plants, im actually rooting for a ~10 degree increase.
