Growing on a budget of $0.00
Yup, had most of this hanging around from previous grow attempts, the rest only cost $40 bucks that I asked the mum for (I'm in college w/ no job, the funds be low). Anywho, the box is 2 identical bookcases with reflective insulation wrap around the whole shi-bam. The fixture is bottom of the line 3 socket bar/bath light. Picked up 3 of the Y dual apadters, and threw:
-4 14-watt CFL Daylight (6500k color temp.) 800 lumens each
-1 23-watt CFL Daylight (6500k color temp.) 1100 lumens
-1 random CFL (will be replaced soon) I think its soft white = no bueno
-1 14" t-5 UV reptile light
Dimensions:
25" x 18" x 21" = 832 lumens/sq.ft.
Does that sound sufficient? or should I get bigger lights.
The seeds are mainly from just nice stuff thats been around and happened to have a seed or two in it. The one in the dark green pot (mine) is from one of my buddies homegrown from last year so it should be delightful(its also about a month younger than all the others, its only about 2 weeks old and prier to this set-up was only on one single tube). The other plants are from my other buddies house, they were/are struggling but we are getting some nutes in acouple days. WHAT TYPE/BRAND DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND?
Thanks, Jim
