situation: got ahold of 3 plants.. ended up with 2 as i traded one for some herb :) anyways.. i got

one 4' shop light fixture with only two 40watt bulbs.. ones a cool white
and ones a plant/aquatic(sp?) so i think there might be maybe a total of.. shit let me check

yeah okay a total of 80watts..

i guess i just wanna know if this will be fine for the full cycle
or should i get some more lights/ more watts? i can possibly put up another 4footer with 2 more 40w cools in it?

thanks and i hope to be posting more as im set up in my house now at college and ill be on the computer much more than i was this summer...
sorry for staying away so long.. contact me! :)

dude fluoros suck get a hps set up...they pump out a shit more light at a higher wattage and your plants grow heaps faster and better

Yeah theyll work... make sure you have the right ones though.. read up on this here... http://www.overgrow.com You will have a smaller yield but at least youll have something..

im not worried about small yields i just want to enjoy growing them and testing different things out

hopefully i can cross breed the two i got left

cross breeding is a painful process....

true but im only growing 2 plants, they're both supposed to be female, so we'll see... i think im going to clone them both and then sex the clones and see whats going on.. if i end up with a male and a female im going to cross them
