We just planted 2 purple haze seeds 2 hours ago. So i'll keep everyone updated in a grow journal ill make.

those look like incandescent light bulbs to me...if they are get those fuckers out of there. If you don't have the money to buy a metal halide or HPS lighting system then at least get some cfl's. They are the new energy efficient bulbs that look like their coiled up. These are the best alternative to a good lighting system but your gonna need a lot and there still not nearly as good. If you can though definitely get a real lighting system. (htgsupply.com). Good luck and happy growing

go to home depot and get 2 150 watt work lights(the ones with the metal dome)remove the dome and get 2 y socket adapters. and pick up 2 packs of the 100 watt(27 actual watts) daylight or cool white and hang em from the top. get a few pc fans cause youll need as much space as you can get, trust me!

alright thanks alot for the input guys, and another thing im trying to keep the plants like fully finished at like 3ft max. I bought the 2 cfls but i cant find a way to put them directly over the plants, and im on a short budget i dont have a job atm, so i cant really afford to make an amazing grow box. Im trying to work with wat i have.

The closer you put the cfl to the top of the plant the better it grows. I was amazed that my plant seemed to hit its 3rd node in under two inches!

They kinda long and wornt penetrate tops but its possible


rememebr anything is possible but not always efficent

i would like you to think about this

how does a normal marijuan plant grow outside.........................................................................................................................


Done yet we must mimic that to the t only thing that is very important other than outside its we cant have a mood at night like flowering it must be completly dark!!!!!!!!! Other than that all the same sun at the top plants on the ground in soil or hydro wind cool air at night the whole 9

could you not strip the two table lamps so that you are left with the bulb holder,cable and pulg,and drill two holes it the roof of your box just big enough for the wire to go through,take the plug off pull your wire through place the plug back on place your bulbs in and you should have adjustable lights like(by jus being able to pull or slacken the cable)
