First Time Grow...!!

[video=youtube;7ftIh0qYsok]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ftIh0qYsok[/video]

not a good video i know but its something.!

Is the lights good enough??
like the type of light and the spacing.

1 halogen floodlight 1500 lumens and 100 watts.
2 cfl i believe that equal 60 watts together.

first off get rid of the halogen get some more cfl's

get a COMPACT FLUORESCENT (CFL)... $5/each in LOWES and at only 23 watts it will put out about 1600 lumens with half the heat of a halogen light...

Bit of advice...use cheap lighting, get cheap product. Put some money into your project and it will reward you greatly.

Thanks yall but 1 more question

Can i use a black light at night/when the cfls aren't on??

hey mate, well thanks for choosing RIU for your source of information!! Its a very nice
community of growers here, and will help with questions that you have.

If you plan on using that type of lighting, i would definitely get rid of that halogen light.
If you are only growing one plant, then i would suggest getting some more CFL's.
You can also find more information on CFL growing in the indoor growing sub forum "CFL growing"

make sure you get the correct type of CFL for the correct growth stage.

Veg cycle - 6500K or 5000K (the heat of the light) Will 9/10 times say on the box what it is
Flowering - 2700K or 3000K

You can use a dual lamp socket to add extra bulbs to it and they are cheap (less then 3/4 bucks) Heres is a link
for dual lamp sockets so you can get an idea.

good luck and smoke up!

Hi Dro... hehe see waht i did there ?... Hi -Dro... Hydro ...o never mind

Anways ... Welcome to RiU

I CAN'T BELIVE no one spotted the glass ... lol thatr video was trippy man

IF thats a glass with no drainage you want to get that plant out of there asap

Having a plant in a clear container is a bad idea Dro ...roots need dark cool damp places .... The glass might look dope ... but your plant will be dieing in there

Dark pot with drainage ( air holes ) is what you need

Dump the hali light ....More CFL closer to your plant

And no more trippy videos

Again ...Welcome to RiU man
