Re: 1st Journal, M39 (Northen Light x Skunk ) Soil & CFL'S
Exactly, and i cant install a intake unit since their way too loud, thats why im going with a ghetto version with a simple metal fan that is way better on the noise and also this is the reason i am going towards leds. Their new, they seem to work very well (specially the BID 80x5W from TopLed) and they produce like, no heat which is perfect for my grow.
I really feel i thru myself in it with no knowledge. I look at my plants now and im telling myself i could of done this and that and this and that, god they could of been better, bla bla bla, but life goes on We learn from our experiences and that is great
Next time, patience will be the key of sucess
id say your best option would be to save up for a 400watt hid light, then you can run a metal halide bulb for veg and high pressure sodium for flower, or go with a dual spectrum bulb which so far seems to be giving me good results.
you will notice a huge difference with the hid but temps soon shoot up, a lot of people argue that cfls are hotter and give out more heat but i had over 400 watts all within 2 to 4 inches of the plant and i could keep my grow door shut and temps would be ok, now im running a 400watt hid i have to have my grow door open, so clearly the hid lights give off more heat than cfls,
so thats something you would have to consider is temps, i could of done with a 600watt light really but 400 watt does me ok and i think the 600 would give me temp issues and id have to consider running a cooled hood or setting up more fans and vents to control the heat,
