Lightbulb Lights (broke_

hello everyone! thanks for reading....
i am starting to understand more and more about growing though this site, than hanging at the library all day doing research!!!

I have three little seedlings coming out,
all are on different stages of their growth.Right now, I am using 2 @100W CFL lights, which is about 34,000 lumens.
(According to the packaging).

I did not plan for these little beans to sprout! I sort of threw them in a pot of soil and within a week, I had a seedling poking out! Now, I have them in their own pots.

So, the strain for these are (outdoor humbolt)? Anyways, only one of them looks like it will make it, it is growing bushy instead of tall and scraggly.

I have been toying with growing for about six months, but I just can not afford the lights right now! I was hoping someone knew of someone or somewhere where I can get a "quality" switchable HPS/MH System.

I will have the loot in time for flowering (I hope)! So that I may get something.
And I want to specifically invest on something that I can use in the future.

I am looking to get a 400 Watter. I have very small and limited space, but I can build a cabinet 36" x 36" with a lock and put it somewhere else.

Right now, everything is in the corner of my closet and that space is 22" x 22" and a height of 64". For that space I would definetly need at 250 Watter, just because of the heat.

But slowly and surely I will get there.


Thanks for any input!!!

" did not plan for these little beans to sprout! I sort of threw them in a pot of soil and within a week, I had a seedling poking out! Now, I have them in their own pots."

sounds like you planned it to me, I thought you were gonna have some story about some seeds that got a little wet and sprouted in a storage bag or something.

what sucks is that you cant find anyother growers in your area at a hempfest or some sort of meeting place like that cause most areas have growers and places that those growers buy their supplies at least in some sort of drivable distance. i know i have seen a few auctions on websites now and again selling 400watters at rather cheap prices maybe 125 or 90 for a really good deal.
you can also consider using an incredible amount of flouros and growing things that way cause the results arent always that different from HID. though the pros and the cons for them both about cancel out so really wont save you money other then you can buy flouros as you need them till you have all you need for a good flowering.
anyway hope you can find what you are needign and hope your buds soon grow big and pretty. later

Do you have experience with them? you cant even type their name at OG and some people were implying thats because of all the negative reviews etc.
I would love to save some money (more for seeds) but dont need the runaround or just negativity (Chasing someone down for a light, I got better things to do)
But, I am in need of a new one, so I await your and anyone else who might have some info on them! THANKS, Niemand

Thumbs up

I have bought 2 systems from Inside Sun. I recently bought xtra bulbs. I have never had any trouble with them. Some of the peeps at OG will attack anyone whether they have did business with a company or not. It's a clique thing over at OG.

Hold on a sec man, you don't need a 400W switchable ballast to grow in a 3' x 3' cabinet.

Read this: Stealth Cabinet

I built 2 similar ones and will be growing a killer amount of weed soon (I Hope!) Utilize the ScrOG Method and you will get copious amounts of smokeables

I'm running 1 150W Home Depot HPS light in each. That's more than enough as far as I can tell. With a cheap homemade ozone generator and a 150CFM Dayton fan its nice and tight. And no one knows its there, if you do it right. I will be posting pictures soon.

Think smarter, not bigger
