okay so ive been reading and people have been saying black lights can work and cant work.
i just want an opinion on what you all think.

i might try it depends on what everyone says.

as long as its not an incandescent it could work (any color but green)....but practically i think ud be better off with a white cfl over a black light

i see. well i mean i got a cooper light. but the thing is way to powerful and gets really hot. and i dont know if i should keep using it. cause i mean i used it once and got the plant to grow 4 leaves. but then it died. so i dont know if i should try the black lights since i could leave them on for awhile. instead of this powerful beast lol

I wouldn't use that cooper light either. Sounds like a halogen work light. Which as far as I understand are all heat and no light.

it does put off alot of heat, but it gives alot of light. lol
a pretty bright light hahaha enough to burn your eyes. but i mean i wouldnt mind making a grow box. i got a old computer case. But i dont have money to get the sockets and wire.
so i was think i could just lay them in the windows. but idk :/
i tried leaving my blinds open and that worked for awhile till the sun starts movie and i have to move the plant. lol

wrong spectrum of light...very low lumens...emit a bad form of uv's for plants..to get it close enough for it to even absorb any light would burn the plant....please slap the person that even gave you the idea you can use it to grow. now i have heard of people using them right before harvest during a dark period before its chopped to increase trich production...but i would see that as another forum myth being they dont produce enough uvb to make a difference...and would take more then a few days to even matter...so big no to the blacklights.

hey not sure if they are or not but may be you can interchange the blacklight bulbs with floros... then you might want to add a few cfls if you can, or do you already have other lighting

i could change them.
i dont got really any other light. i could use my light bulbs but i dont know if they would work haha
i think ill just have to do a trail and error for awhile see if i can get anything.
ive tried growing 2 other times. and i get it to its first 4 leaves of something and then dies :/

ok so if money is an issue you can make a pretty decent setup with cfls for pretty cheap... there are ghetto grow forums on here using cardboard boxes and cfls and pulling some nice grows... in fact go check out concord dawn's latest cfl grow. impressive. stay high
