Cheers for that. Yeah it's a shame higher wattage CFL's are so fking expensive in this country haha.

Have a look at greens horticulture or basement lighting, that's where I get my higher wattage cfls from and they're 'reasonably' priced I suppose. Though the high watt ones are huge!

It seems a lot easier to get the redder ones, I got a shit load free from my energy provider ages ago lol

Have you tried b&q or wickes? Might be able to get a box of 20 or so watt ones at a reasonable price.

I got 6 20W red spectrum cheap of ebay. And I managed to get hold of the 6400K from some warehouse but they're only 15W. quid each so it was decent. Want some 25W ones. But yeah I noticed the 45W ones are fucking hugeeeee haha

You should see the 300w cfls...

120w red should be alright for a 1st grow, and so long as the blues are close and evenly spaced you don't really need that much wattage

I only have 6 light fittings. Currently only 4 of the lights are close to the plant because they're quite spaced out, I have 3 6400K and 1 2700K within an inch of the plant

sounds good to me! I got 5 seedlings and 1 clone under 2x25w CFL's and they're doing fine until I get some 'Y' Splitters so I can have 4 blues (at some point)

You got any updates on your grow?

Lol, Look at the size of the post! I think it's better keeping them in links, because I have to scroll around to look at that picture.

Yeah, I post them externally so people can see more detail. Much Higer res.

Fair enough, though do they need to be high res lol, though it is ridiculous how detailed they are, what lens are you using? :) looking good so far though, I'll keep updated with this one!

Day 12 - So I started to notice there was a few roots coming through the drain holes at the bottom so I transplanted it into a bigger pot. One problem, I forgot the let the soil warm up first, since it came out the garage at its about 10C will she be okay?? It shouldn't take too long to warm up...
