im afriad ventilation will be my biggest problem. my basement has no windows. i have them growing in a mixure of compost, miracle grow soil, peat moss, and perilite. my room could be about 7-8 feet tall and about 5X5 long and wide. i have an empty light fixture already in the ceiling that i was going to put a good light in. can u grow a plant start to finish on just a mh light? or hps or cfl? and does anyone know where to get a good light for not too much $$$$$$.
Well bro if you have one empty light fixture and no outlets you better have some extension cords or some skills in wiring. One plug will fit a couple CFL wiith a couple of Y to help i guess. But its 8 foot on the ceiling so i dnt see that working.
Well If you want light to last veg. and flowering HPS you can do it all but you will need a timer and one good outlet for that. You cant just stick a HPS bulb in a light socket they dont fit
Totally different plugs.
Well what do you mean by not to much money!!!! lol like numbers brother!!
Today got a quote for somelights from my local hydro shop should be about the same for you or you can find on the net.
so a 1000watt HPS - includes ballast(that converts you standard juice to juice the light can use) , Bulb, and Melonhead cooltube/reflector. total 300.00 plus tax
a 600 watt HPS is about 25 dollars cheaper
and a 400 watt HPS whould be good for u do to bang for you buck and you space with how many plants ur gonna grow is about 225.00 or so .
A MH light only thinng cheaper are the bulbs by about 25 bucks but you really cant use during Flowering do to to much blue light in the bulb
and CFL are great for small scale maybe 4 plants max with at least 2 to 3 bulbs per plant use the 6500k light specturm for veg. and the 2000k light specturm for flowering.
i use 2 100watt cfl per plant for my mothers.
I have some pictures up and they are growing like mad.
i use which is really cheap for veg. is a 4ft flouresent fixture. with 40watt bulbs it it for veg. my plants and it works wonders so there is some help.
lol
