i converted my shitty MG cabinet into a full fledged grow box. the only thing i didnt include was intake/exhaust fans.
now im about 11 days in and i have a question. im using 2 refector hood, as thats all that could fit. i bought 2 little Y adaptors that allow you to put two light bulbs in each reflector. now obviously they didnt fit with the light bulbs but luckily i had an extention piece that allowed the adaptor to be screwed in. unfortunatly i only had 1.
so now im running 3 cfls. 2 23w and 1 20w making 66w.
one of my girls seems to be doing fine but the other is starting to droop a bit and hasent grown at the same rate. theyre obviously different strains (bagseeds) but im a little concerned about how much light is in there.
all the cfls are 2700k and im not too sure 66w is enough for both girls. the one under the single cfl is doing fine but the one underneath the Y adaptor with 2 cfls has drooped and not grown nearly as much.
is 66w of 2700k cfls enough to do the job? theyre in 32oz containerswith drainage holes cut in the bottoms. im not looking to go big obviously.
so my question is; is 66w of 2700k enough to get the job done? and how big should they get in the 32oz containers? im thinking of throwing a screen in there between the medium and lighting to do a scrog if it dosent look like ill have enough room?
should i add another light? i can put a socket and bulb with no reflector in there no problem. i could even get a few "worklight" flourescent tubes as they are small and i can attach them to the sides of the cab to provide some horizontal light.
thank you so so much if you read all of this hahaha.
some of thesse pictures are older than the others. i will update will recent pics tn or tomorrow.
thanks guys!
