the plant(s) doesn't care which direction the wind is blowing as long as there is some airflow.i have 2 fans pointed away from the plants but the air bounces off the walls.does the plant need wind directions? To avoid dust and mold.etc?
Does cfl make your soil dry (normally from outside)?
Ive seen from recent youtubers
At what temperature should any room be? Or what temperature can a plant hang?
Start with 6...I say that because you can find those 3 bulb vanity fixtures(lowes,hd,walmart,ace,sears)add splitters,splice it to an extension cord and it's done.It should fit perfectly in those 45-50g plastic containers.IF YOU CAN KEEP TEMPS BELOW 85f YOU CAN USE AS MANY BULBS AS YOU WANT...I recommend the 23-26w cfl varietyI'm going to be doing a stealth Rubbermaid growbox. So for just a small 50 galleon growbox with 2 plants how many CFL's do you guys recommend ? I'm also planning on putting a fluorescent light bar on each side for side lighting.
how many plants are u growing just curious cuz i got that set up im about to start a 2 plant grow with and thought it would be more than enoughIm using x2 125w's and a 65w in a 1.5x3x4.5ft area and need more
You can also use an inexpensive power strip instead of the vanity fixture.Start with 6...I say that because you can find those 3 bulb vanity fixtures(lowes,hd,walmart,ace,sears)add splitters,splice it to an extension cord and it's done.It should fit perfectly in those 45-50g plastic containers.IF YOU CAN KEEP TEMPS BELOW 85f YOU CAN USE AS MANY BULBS AS YOU WANT...I recommend the 23-26w cfl variety
Yes.....BUT you will also need at least three plug/bulb adapters($1/ea)and splitters($2/ea).You can also use an inexpensive power strip instead of the vanity fixture.
T5HOs are the most efficient type of fluorescent lights producing 94 lumens per watt.they are a linear tube type light that uses a separate ballast but run cooler than cfls.they can be placed 1 inch above the plants and distributes light more evenly than cfls and have twice the useful life.commonly people use 6500k for veg and 3000k for flower but you can also get full spectrum P&A bulbs that produce a slightly higher yield. they cost a little more than a CFL DIY but the longer life and lower electricity cost offsets that.the best place to find a good price on a fixture is e-bay.I paid $89 for a 6 tube 2 ft fixture that puts out 12000 lumens and uses 144 watts.they are a little more expensive than CFLS but IMHO they a worth the price. with good P&A bulbe they will outperform small HPS lamps (grams per what) .you can find a lot more information here https://www.rollitup.org/t/led-without-leds-my-first-t5-grow.358190/Nice.
Hey what are those T5 lights? I went to the store the other day and some product had this T5 symbol bold. Did I miss something?
