Hi guys.. basically i want opinions on my set up i have for my little grow hobby.. I'm a first time grower and i think Ive purchased what i need to start to grow One plant at a time. Ill upload pics. My grow tent is 800mm high and 400mm wide 800mm length. Check this link for my light that i purchased for my grow. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CFL-Energy-Saving-Lights-Fluorescent-Grow-Lamp-2700K-6400K-Reflector-Kit-/170867681619?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item27c881e953.

Just wondering if that setup will be fine for a one plant grow tent set up. Is that enough light etc.. The plant is a Auto Northern Lights 5 days old.

Cheers guys looking forward to some expert advice.

you may be underlit by 4k lumens or so, Idon't see it being a super big problem, Just run both your lights at once, Or sell them locally and invest in a nice 150-250w HPS for your veg/flower area, the 250w emits 35K Lumens, giving you a little under 10K lumens a sqft. :D

Ive only got one light but 2 globes.. i figured i could swap when i needed to for veg/ flower stages. Damn thats a kick in the balls i didnt want to spend a fortune to grow ONE plant at a time lol.. SO sounds like with that setup i cant grow fuck all then..

Looks good that will work to veg but you might want to purchase a250watt mh or if heat is an issue stick with cfl but at the lower 2700k for bloom

Ive got the heat perfect. Ive added a comp fan to suck out the excess heat. So with that set up i can still produce a decent plant with that setup?

Never mind that light came with 2 lights if possible plug in both lights when you go in to flower then you will have enuff light to have some decent buds.

Hey bro good luck! Cfls will do the job just fine though, I did my first grow under cfls. Had 6 23 watters on three plants in a box and got almost 3/4 of a zip. Just do you man. People get away with 90 watt grows and party cup grows all day.
Stay up!!!
