Questions About Lighting

Ok so I'm new here and I have some questions... I'm 16 and i have like 4 plants growing in my closet at home. They are well hidden but I just planted them yesterday in some pots with Miracle Grow potting soil and I stole a 20 Watt cfl from the bathroom and put it in a table lamp, which is leaning over at 180 degrees about 12 inches above the plant pots.

I know a single 20 watt cfl is pretty low quality, even for a poor little closet operation, so I'm asking what it would take to get a CFL fixture and 2 of the maximum wattage CFLs that I can get at the local hardware store. (I'm guessing it 40 watts is the best I can do because all we have here in bumfuck, Montana is a True Value.) Oh... and I would rather not spend more than $50 right now because right now I'm more interested in audio production than growing weed lol... just want some personal bud and maybe a little extra cash.


Either reply here or email me at [email protected] THANKS!!

My advice is to throw it all in the garbage because you're just going to waste your time trying to grow 4 plants with 1 CFL bulb..... lol

Well if I can just get the seeds to start... I was planning on going and buying a fixture and two 40 watt CFLs. Would that be good enough for a space that is about 2 ft x 1ft? Also, the walls are covered in space blanket to improve the lighting lol. hope that works.

no it will grow and bud a plant but in the end you will not yield that much and the bds wont be much to talk about .
