And I found out the one bending is dead cause my room mate picked the leafs off, so ignore the clone only the small one is growing now.
-What light cycle? 24 or 18-6?

What I want to know is will this work?
I'm very low budget. (had to find change for the bulb)
I can not find a day light bulb over 23 Watts. (Kmart and Home Depot)
Will it grow? Obviously im not trying to make a 6' plant just up to maybe 2'

"will it work" as in " will my plant survive long enough to flower"? or " will it work" as in " will i be smoking dank nugs"? because you could veg and flower with that single bulb.......you may only get a bowl-full of smokeable matter but it "will work". you trying to do anything else but that youre gonna have to upgrade a little. in my opinion it isnt worth your time.

don't even worry about wall cover at this point. cfl's don't put out enough power to reflect. the foil wont hurt you, using cfls.

hey dodo, that pic of the daylight lights. is that your setup? im wondering where to find those light clamps at and what there supported with? thanks

I have two indoor setups, one cfl closet grow and now i have a larger setup in my basement.

I got the cfl clamps from Lowes and they handle the large cfl bulb. I can't recall the wattage of the bulb, but it's the largest Wal-Mart sells for daylight cfl.

Thanks guy big help!
Returned the light i bought for $10.75
Bought a 2 pack of 27 watt 5500k for $5.40

Good job Danky. Like i said b4 that soft-white bulb is no good now, but keep it for later. The two 5500k lights you bought are great for one plant. Get those bright bulbs as close to your girl as you can without it being too hot. Hold ur hand under the light and see how it feels, but cfl's are generally not too hot. Plants are proven to grow faster with 24/0 light cycle. I'm on 24-0 myself. Just keep the light going full-time brother.

Good, I took your guys advice and moved it to a all white spot with light for 24 hours then on feb 1st switching to 18-6. Im running to the store to get a thermometer now.





Once this spot is to small I have a good closet to move it to in a room with a fan running 24 hours a day.

sup dankman.. any heat issue should be easily taken care of with a little breeze from a small fan dissapating any heat arounf ur cfl's

go 24 hours on until you decide to flower
then switch to 12/12

going to 18/6 before then just robs you of 25% growth time.

you will not hurt the plants feelings by suddenly changing light schedule.

where in the hell did you get your lighting schedule? never herd a such a thing! you should either leave the light on 24/7 or on for 18hours and off for 6 then of course switch to 12/12 to start budding. just wondering how you came up with your lighting schedule did someone actually tell you to run the lights that way, if so you need to get a new teacher cause that shit is crazy.
not trying to dis you but seems weird if you need some help bro just ask most everyone here is pretty helpful
