ok well this is my first grow, and because of my house i have to grow in my room behind my desk. i didnt have much time to get lights and stuff because the plant was given to me by a friend who started it off in his window sill. this is my setup rite now:
i have been using just the one 75 watt bulb for the past 2 days and it seems to be fine but not growing much at all:
here are the lights that im using:
for a few hours i hooked up this old flourecent light but then took it out since i didnt even know if it was helping me at all:
one thing that has been bothering me is that the box has to be sealed off during the night so that the light doesnt come into my room, making it very hot in there. i have been going in there a few times a day and opening it up...
so now what im thinking is that ill get a cfl from ace hardware, since it is the only place that has that stuff where i live. so does anyone have any suggestions on a cheap cfl that i could get at ace? like under 20 dollars. like what kind of light should i be looking for, how many watts do i want? what color temp do i want? info like that would be really helpful.
and also, just out of curiosity, what do you guys think about the lights/setup i have rite now? am i bound to fail with what ive got? or would it work? i know the box im growing in is really small, but for now i only plan on growing 1 plant, and plan on flowering it when its only about a foot tall.
rite now i have it set on my bed next to the window to see how much better it reacts to sunlight.
well, thats about it, any tips, suggestions, questions, anything, would be very much appreciated.
thank you.
