You have to get "Y" adaptors. They are in the electrical section at Lowes, Home Depot, and most Walmarts. You screw the adaptor into the light socket and this provides a place for 2 bulbs.

Hey choc. I'd want my side lighting to be adjustable in order to get it around the plant(s). Unless those two walls w/ the side lighting are close together, it could prove difficult to get the lights close enough. I guess you could buy more "Y" adaptors and/or extenders to get the lights...

She looks great mitsu! Are those 23 watt or 42 watt CFLs your running? Fantastic looking grow. I'm also on day 21 of 12/12 light. You can check it out if you like https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/50550-poppinsmokey-s-first-grow-cfl.html

I'm sick as a dog right now, but I had to turn the girls today. I tried to get a few pics, but only one came out good. I feel too much like a turd popsicle to retake pics. Both continue to stretch and fill in with buds. To be quite honest I'm ready for them to stop stretching up. It is...

I just wanted to put up a quick update. The girls are 14" and 18" tall respectively. Pic 1: Overview of setup. I added a couple more 2700K CFLs today. Pic 2: Decent pic of the smaller plant. Pic 3: Big sister. My camera is crappy, but the photographer is even crappier :mrgreen:. I hope you...

Chocolate, I'm no handyman when it comes to electricity or carpentry for that matter. I just took a cheap fence post and cut it into 3 pieces and hooked the three pieces together with sheet metal w/ holes in it so it would be flexible. I didn't really wire anything. My lights are clamped on...

Smoken Buddha, I'll try and some better pics of pistils. There about 5 times as many today as there were yesterday. Lights are out for the night, but I'll try and snap some better shots tomorrow. It's pretty difficult for me to take pics. This is in a corner of my closet and I'm 6'2" 250lbs...

Thanks for stopping by DWR. Hopefully I'll have some really dankass pics to post in a few weeks.

Robbinthehood; how much are you watering every 2 -3 days? What is the temperature in your room? I ask b/c your pots look like 3L pots. I'm using something similar. My temps are about 78 degrees F. I water with about 3.5L of pH 6.5 water every 7 - 9 days. The amount of water is up by about a...

Hopefully getting an update in before the weekend will garner some more comments. This is my first grow, and I've really tried to do the best I can with the space and resources I have available. I really wish I had more time during the week to check out others' grows, but 50+ hour weeks at...

I gotta get my post count up from "stranger":blsmoke:. What better way to do that than with an update. Today is Day 27 of the grow. They have been on 12/12 lighting for a little less than 9 days. In the past 11 days both plants have tripled in size. As of 1 p.m. today the smaller of the two is...

Thanks THC. Regardless of what happens with this grow, I'll be updating with some pics.

First off, a big thanks goes out to Garden Knowm for his book, Buds for Less. Without it I'd be lost. This is my first grow. I'm only growing two plants just in case I wrecked them, I didn't want to have to reorder seeds. The pics you see below are: Pic 1: Thought they would never sprout - Day...

How many lights? What kind? What did your setup look like? Nice looking buds, congrats on the harvest!

I've got 4 42 watt 6500K CFLs in a very small space and the temp shot up from 72 (with 2 bulbs) to 82 (with 4 bulbs) in a night. Opening the window (on cool days) in the room of the closet and/or adding a small oscillating fan remedied the problem. Placing the fan in such a way that the fan...

Goto Light bulbs, Rope Lights, Halogen and Fluorescent bulb - 1000-Bulbs - The Light Bulb Superstore and search for 42 watt and CFL in the search dropdown menu. You will find what you need there. I bought 12 bulbs from these folks. It is really easy to find what you need and the service and...

G Thumb I hadn't heard that about the 3000K and 3500K lights. That is very good information to know. Unless I find something concrete that says I should do differently, I will be doing predominantly 6500K during veg (probably 3/4 of lights), and mostly 2700K during flowering (maybe 3/5 of...

Buster I just posted a question about this ( https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/41963-cfl-setup-different-stages-growth.html ), and I think it would be a great idea. I read this and other forums for a month. I also read a couple of books, and I'm still a little confused. When a newbie goes...

I'm growing feminized PPP. Thanks for your response GardenMan, much appreciated. I'll be posting a journal once I get started. So mix the 6500K and 2700K during all stages? I've read conflicting information. If you've read Buds for Less by SeeMoreBuds a.k.a. Garden Knowm, that is the...

This is my first post. What a great sight with tons of info! I plan on starting a small grow in a little over a week. I decided on CFLs because of space and heat limitations. Here are the lights I have on hand right now: 6 23 watt Cool White 2700K CFLs 2 27 watt Daylight 5500K CFLs 4 Compact...
