Light option

[stully]

I am a brand new grower and I have the strictest budget. I am running a 48" fluro(i think 32wattor maybe 40) and an 18" 15Watt growlux. My space is 9 ft square. I have the lights less then 4" from my plants. What are some extremely cheap option that I have to add lumens. When I say cheap, I mean cheap!

CFL is cheap... you can buy them for 5 bucks... 25w 2700k or 25w 6500...
The cheapest way to add lumens is ...sunlight

Or you can find some used HID systems on ebay ...400,250w for half price or even less money...
50bucks and then your fluo lights will be ...extras

Just search , and search before you buy anything ....you can always find something better and cheaper ...
But with lights and soil I will never calculate ...only the best.
