Took out the hps! Bought 2 cfls single 27watts 2 4ft t5 54watt 17watt grow lite PIX!!

Im vegging, so I took out the hps. hps made it hot in there plants were dying etc. so im moving the hps to the bedroom or closet not sure yet. I bit the bullet and invested more cash. I bought 2 singe cfl 27watt puts out 100watt each 5000k, I put those in the back with those two sick plants, im guessing they got like that cuz they were pushed all the way in the back. those burnt leafs arent from the current single cfls *I just installed them*. I also bought two single 4ft t5 54watts 6500k. I hung one of them, waiting for my friend to bring tools to mount the other one. each t5 was 40 bucks. the single cfls cost me 20 bucks for both the bulbs and the hoods. Is this enough light???



As for watering I put 600ml in the first three days. 200ml each day times three day = 600ml . the water never ran down the plate at the bottom of the pot. its still kinda moist when I put my finger 3 inches in. Im going to let it dry up and keep a good eye when it dries. Should I then pour reg water ph 6.5 until the whole pot gets wet and let it run down the drain holes of the pot? then let it full dry and repeat the process?? thank you guys!~

FOXFARM ocean forest temp 73 deegrees 35% humid, average temp is 77 degrees. I put 1/4 for foxfarm grow big. big mistake lol, Im not going to put nutes until another 2 weeks.

any ideas on how I should mount my light would be helpful!! thank u guys!

these last two pics those leafs were like that before . yellow/burnt

change the where the lighting was, looks like all plants are receiving light, mind this plants look damage due to feeding it 1/4 nutes, lack of light. I am mounting my 600 hps in my closet which has three sliding doors. ill leave them open so that temps wont go beyond 80 degrees , then have a veg and a flowring room. light proof the bathroom, windows etc.might buy more cfls for the veging room and flowering room. just so the leafs from sides always have light.

trying to order them now. will these do?

or should I just buy 2 more t5's?

125 watt cfl 6500k vs a t5 6500k ? which one would work best? I might buy two but for sure one .

will those this fit in my current cfl light fixure? http://www.1000bulbs.com/search/bnsearch/?q=compact-fluorescents&f=Wattage:100..249,BaseType:Medium (E26)&attrFilter=Compact+Fluorescents+(CFLs)

27 watt CFl's don't put out 100 watts, they put out 27 watts. You have 162 watts of light and about 15,400 lumens. Your HPS puts out about 95,000 lumens. You should have enough power to veg a few plants to 18 inches or so.

I'm planing on having each plant have it's true 105watt that fits in reg sockets, then one t5 per 3 plants

make sure you have at least one 12" fan blowing in there . This will help with air circulation and help with the temps big time.

I grow with cfl's and they put out zero heat for me, should be good with that, cfl's are the way to go!!

and leds ofc

+rep all ty!!!! I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a 600 watt mh conversion bulb for my 600 watt ballast and buy cfls for the sides and more t5's for the clone veg?

thats a good way to go

currently have the bathroom for a veg, and my 600 hps in my masterbedroom vegging 4 plants, going to flower in 1 week weeee

If your CFL's put out ZERO heat, then they aren't turned on.

ha ha ha so tru....CFL actually emit more heat than u think. I used 4 105watt CFL and measured the temp about 3 - 4 inches away from the bulb and it was suprizingly about 87 degrees. so if you put those cfl real close to the plant, well then there is roughly 87 degrees right above your plants....
