Lowes and Home Depot have been the two most major stores I've been to for supplies.

It's also nice when you have a specialty shop nearby which sells products for growing.


For the veg cycle I added two 6500K daylight 100 watt CFLs and they began to grow like mad.

I would suggest going all CFL because the produce higher lumens and use less electricity. You can also find 150W CFLs for about $10 each for when you want to throw them into flowering. They range in the 2700K scale which is what you're going to want.

If it were me I'd add 4 of them at least, just because I love the CFLs and they've proven to be excellent so far for my grow. I just added two LED panels (one is a UFO), and will be adding another today.

I need to build a bigger room ASAP because I'm now up to four larger plants and they're going to start smelling pretty soon.

i got two fans on them now there was already one on them now i got the sticks out and they are standing alone. i just switched the lights to 12 12 i know it seems soon but i think it will work out. especially if they can double in size in flowering and im mainly doing it cause it gets really hot when im at work all day and dont have it open it was at 92 when i got home yesterday. it has never been nowhere near that hot but i also added another light.

yea I tryn find a way to get that heat out cuz that high can cause the plant heat stress don't worry about starting it off at 12/12 i've heard people doing that and still having good results although they had a 400 hps but i'm sure it can work wit cfl's thats what i'm using but my grow rm is prolly larger how many cfl's or lights you got?
