here it is,, my family WAS gonna SANTA CLAUS me a new IPOWER 600wt hps/mh wing,((captain says cool tube))maybe someday.., But as all mechanical stuff does,,this time a CAR,, break down
, I told them,, (( oldest dghtr)) was her and her sister and my sister,, yea I got a good family,, fix the car.. so.. what I have is,, MY SET UP,, ( see my journal)

currently running 20-23wt cfl's, 5000k

what I CAN run..I have the house wiring for it
20--23wt-cfl =460wt------5000k have them on hand
6--30wt-cfl =180wt---2700k have them on hand
3--42wt-cfl =126wt--- 2700k have them on hand
------= total =766wt
now understand that's all CFL wattage, in a 2.5 foot by 4.5 foot closet, with 6-- 5 gallon buckets..
also in 81 days I will be 55 yrs young.. I personally don't know WHY by wattage there is any difference,,
I have been private messaging one member on growing, a couple others on tips and general hows life treating ya , so im putting IT out here for yall to see and comment on

I don't remember if you were worried if you had enough light, but yes definitely. Unless you want all those plants to be complete monsters.

That florescent row should do some good work, and if you end up getting the 125w you saw on my thread, you will be able to grow at least one monster if not a few. Because you already have a nice set up.

Also get some yeast and sugar or molasses. CO2 makes a BIG the difference. And they sell Mylar blankets on Amazon for REALLY cheap, so you can get that instead of the mylar rolls, and your plants will be bathed in light. I promise that make a huge difference as well.

Also remember these plants were used by India Indians, not Native Indians. Native Americans didn't show us hemp, we showed them hemp.

It can handle a little heat, it's used to the desert. Shiva was said to have used it for shade to sleep under in the desert, and that is the reason he took it from heaven and gave it to Earth.

I thought white walls were fine too, but I promise if you use mylar they will get thicker leaves like that day. And same with CO2.

This is my first grow that I have ever been able to afford anything so I understand if you can't, just saying what I have noticed.
