Hi, im just decided the start growing my own weed, what with the major shortage over here (england) anyway i got my grow box of sorts (few pics below) its got a 12 inch width and a 15 inch width (yes i did mean to say width twice).

As you can see from the pic i do have a light but the bulb inside is kinda out of a lamp post (so its yellow) anyway i need a light. and i heard i can get 1 light that works for both stages, fluoresent? red/blue? well i have no idea and thats why im here. im wondering what light i should get for as cheap as poss, cus i dont really want to have to buy 2 lights and seeing as the space is so small i dont think ill need a big one.

So can sum1 give me some advice, maybe some links for lights i could buy (suitable for my "grow box")

Btw, the inside is lined with alot of old photos (back side) to reflect light.

Thanks in advacne guys, pics below.

I'm an outdoor grower but are you planning to flower the plant in that space??!
It doesn't look as though there's gena be enough space, most plants reach 4/5'.
whereabouts in England are you? because i have two plants outdoor and theyre actually surviving!

how cheap are we talking?
youre going to need airflow too, one 80-120mm PC exhaust fan should do.
a 30w+ CFL should do ok for vegging a small plant with.
youll want more than 30w for flowering with if only using the one bulb at a time.
youll need a 6400k color bulb for vegging and a 2700k color for flowering with.
itd be better to get a 30w+ 6400k now and then a 2700k when youre ready to flower, but if you only want one bulb for both then get as high a wattage 2700k as you can afford, something like 50w+ should work ok.
heres some 85w 2700k on ebay

heres an online store with a good range

Firstly to storni, im a grow noob, but this is the only space available and i will stop it growing bigger when its getting to big. Im in leicester and my mate has grown 2 huge plants in his backyard, but its about to get cold so they wouldnt have time to flower.

and paddy i have 2 pc fans for exausts.

im planning on buying 2 cfl's and seeing how it goes.

take a four cfl's two blue two warm light.and keep your plant how close is possible to light without burning them.and don't give any nuts first 1,5-3 weeks.just water.you grow in soil right?get a ph and moisture meter.happy growing!its not good idea growing pot in parents house without advice.

Because some people do not have the luxury of large grows. I have a 2 plant grow. Do not knock people for being careful, they are staying within their limits so we lower the risk of getting caught. Another consideration is budget, some may not be able to afford a large grow. Back off, and lets try to be a little positive here, the negativity does no one any good.

Send me your address and I will send you some mydol, its on me. Dont bring your pms here.
