Thanks lotaball - intersting name, is it becaus eyou have an extra bollock or dope related he he. The light bulb that wont go on the timer, i read up on it and its 4100k? which has confused me even more as its in the middle of the 2 suggested ks i need in a bulb!!!
It was only pennies to buy so i think ill just switch and ill definetely get the biggie in at flowering stage, but Ive learnt my lesson re; having the grow box ready beforehand as I keep stressing my little babies by going in mid cycle and ficing the lights etc as they keep dropping when the tape gets warm, Ill try a mastic gun i think, or some proper glue, was trying to avoid glue as the pnels are nice shiny white ones, but the lights need to be more secure, If i can get the ventilation done cheaply and as basic as poss but still effective I think I have the bones of a wicked growroom.
Still learning but ive sussed the lights out to a point! and Im going to just mix them this time. The problem here is the cfls are basically 2 brands that dont give enough infor on the boxes and when i check the website links theres no info, so hence im just throwing them all in together and going for it.

When it comes to growing, it's best to do the homework first and THEN plant a seed. You are putting the cart before the horse and just a forwarning, that never turns out well in the grow game. First lesson as a grower is patience. If you can't take the time to learn first, it's going to be a tough go all the way through. Patience is key. Good luck

Where are you that you can't get an hps???

Youre right of course but Ive started them now so its back to the drawing board chap, Im at a point where i know i can at least get a plant or 2 to flower, Ive known all along that I needed ventilation but Ive always had the problem that I have limited access to materials, hence my love affair with the gaffa tape!!
I have readup on the ventillation and hmidity etc but it all overwhelms me and every cheap, basic fan set up Ive read has pc fans and I dont want to do that as the box panels are a type of plastic that will crack and other reasons, Ive decided as I have a larger area than i need with only 1-2 plants (2 hopefully) if i just stick a small fan and fit a small basic extractor fan and that should cool the light/box down and the extractor will be enough as the room the box is in has a powerful ac in there???

There's nothing illegal about a light. Certainly worth it. Cfl weed is usually sub par, unl;ess you are loading the area with them, generally,creating just as much heat and using just as much electricity as if you had a small hps in there building real bud. Set up a p.o. box order and then cancel it.
