do u think 3 42 watt daylight bulbs would be enough to veg 1 small plant? because thats really the only thing i can get ahold of. and i only have enough room for 3 bulbs

Yh 3 42watters will be good for 1 plant in VEG but you wanna have about 4-6 or more for budding to get good amount of bud:peace:

damn. im kinda running into a problem. i only have a small speaker to work with right now that 17" tall x 12" wide x 6" deep. im trying to get a computer case to make a grow box out of but for now i only have the speaker. what kind of setup do u guys think i should use. and what method of growing works best in small areas like mine? i was thinking of using lst or scrog but i dont know what would work best

17" of vertical... damn, you could make a low profile water culture setup with sum 12" t5's or sumthin, maybe like a phototron...?

so far ive gutted the whole speaker,painted the inside white, and cut the intake hole and put layer of panty hose over the hole so light doesnt escape.
i was thinking of getting some 12" t5's but i think im going to make a computer case grow box and make that for growing the plant and use the speaker for a clone or to veg a plant before i put it outdoors.

yea i was going to still use 3 or 4 42watt cfls(or as many as i can fit) then maybe get 1 or 2 12" t5's just for extra light on the underside of the plant.

Tubes help Height which you dont want .
just go for 4 x 42watters and you will be fine all the way even flowering for one

thats what im trying to do. get the whole stalk to be like a cola and have bud all the day down. is there any kind of tricks or tips to get that to happen so it wont have a bunch of branches? im growing ion a small space and i want it to be compact and about 12 inches tall with buds up and down.
i just kept the lights real close to plant from seedling. and it just grew like that. i also grew 5 plants in one containter but there was only the one female i have...:peace::joint:
