so how many watts do i need, and i see on ebay that they sell bulps, where should i connect to bulps to?
ssj4jonthan said:I would spend $400 on (3) 100w UFO LED grow lights, $25 on 23w 2700K CFLs(that's about 15 lights) , $25 on 6500K CFLs (about 8 lights), $35 on 3 yo-yo hangers, then you can make your own light rigs with DIY 8 plastic light screw ac adapters and 8 y splitters and 10 extension cords, a timer and a box fan and 6 water catching plastic soucers (walmart has everything but y splitters you have to go to homedepot) runs about $75. For buckets you want 3 air-pots 3 gallon pots for vegging/flower, and ( 3 ) 1 gallon pots for babes. Buy some dirt compost, use foxfarm nutes (grow big, tiger bloom), ph meter, ppm meter and a 4x4 grow tent ($175 another) and you'll have about 9 oz in 90 days from 3 plants. Grand total = $~900... to eliminate smell you're going to need to spend another $120 on a can filter and inline fan and ducting!

If I were you I would start reading more and typing less.ok so how much the whole thing is gonna cost me (growing 1 plant each time)?
and if i wont switch between the lights in every stage the amount of weed my plant is going to make will be a lot smaller? how much weed will i get if i'll switch the lights and how much if im not going to switch the lights?
LOL!! I'm sorry, but you're so fuggin sad it's hilarious!lol i mean bulbs...
thanks for the links, i'll read it later, can i just get a quick answer? what the cf lights are connected to and where do i get it from?
just bought 26W daylight bulbs from wal mart so they have upped thier wattage a bit. there are also sites online you can buy up to 150w CFL but you have to order them. home depot sucks for bulbs wal mart has better selection.Pay walmart a visit, they'll have everything you'll need. Veg stage you'll need daylight 6500K lights, flower stage you'll need warm 2700K lights. Daylight bulbs only come in 23watts so you'll need about 4, when flowering comes around buy 2 55watts lights. Bottom line, you'll need about 100watts per plant, to get decent yields.
You can either make your own light rig, or buy one, such as a chicken brooder heat lamp, either way you swing a bat at it you're also going to need two light y splitters, you can find those at homedepot. Also if you opt for a brooder lamp, you will also need a socket base extension, also available at homedepot. Best way is to buy a couple extension cords, and a light socket AC adapters so you can plug it in directly to the electrical outlet. Good luck!
