Thanks everyone for the positive responses! Believe it or not I have been working on this dresser seems like nonstop for over a week now. It feels so good to hear people telling me they like it. Im still tweaking it though. I want more light and less temp! lol
Dont we all! I will without a doubt be updating almost everyday. This is really this first time I have become active on forums and I really like it. Keeps me from wanting to tell someone locally. We all know where that will get ya! Georgia doesn't play about growing at all.
I have a few questions for all you viewers...
First
Where in the USA would be a best place to grow, from a criminal punishment stand point, if I was to go large scale with this thing? Not too large just like 20 plants or so. I am looking to move and I have Automotive skills that would basically allow me to find a job anywhere. I hate it here and im ready to see the world! lol
Second
4 of my CFLs in my cab are these "Reveal" GE 26w bulbs. They had them placed on the shelf in Wal-Mart with the 6500k daylight bulbs and (im not going to lie) the nice packaging made me decide to get these over the others. They were 13 cent more. $10.00 for a 2 pack. Now that I have installed them and looked at them they don't appear to be 6500k bulbs. They look the same as all the others in the pic. Did I fuck up?
Third
Since I intend to always run this setup at a 12/12 from seed to harvest. Do I need to replace the bulbs if they aren't 6500k? I know i've read a lot about needing 6500k for vegging and its good to have a mix for flowering as well, but dont people who have an HPS setup only have a 2700k temp bulb? Im not trying to be cheap as I can probably just exchange these for the ones I need. Im just curious how big of a difference will it make?
And last but not least...
If you could throw a 70w HPS in there with those CFLs would you? or maybe 2? In my opinion you go big or you go home lol.. Maybe like 4 2700k 26w cfls and 4 6500k 26w cfls and then 2 HPS 70w bulbs. That would be around 26,000 Lumens. Right now my soon to be 12 to 14 CFLs are pushing 20,400 to 23,800 lumens. But I do want to avoid setting the house on fire so are the HPS's unreasonable for such a small cramped area?
Thanks again for all your support and advice!
