My First Atempt Growing Big Bud & Hindu Kush Skunk

[kamykazi3]

Your doing good and well on your way, lil pointer get rid of the foil in there.. I'm assuming that's foil.. and either get a space blanket and cut it up or paint the inside flat white, foil can create hotspots which will burn your plants, males give off seeds, so to you , right now they are worthless, if you get way more advanced then you can do breeding and such... but that's a whole other topic

ohhhhh i tought i had to use foil i had such a hard time puting it inside ..

i have no idea how to get a space blanket , so i think i will paint the interior with white .. thx again for the help .. stupid youtube people using foil ! dang XD

[kamykazi3]

Ok... So its a 17 watt.. those are kinda small, we go off wattage here in u.s. try to look for the highest wattage one you can find, like a 48 watt, or 68 watt, their big bulbs.. and the heat thing wont be an issue as long as your fan is running and you don't let the plant actually grow into the light bulb itself. Do some reserch of your local hardware store online and see what you can find, on a side note, that may work for your seedlings, but only for prob about a week...then you need bigger, but once you get a bigger one, you can train your plant for the size light you have

im sory , what do you mean by "once you get a bigger one, you can train your plant for the size light you have" ....

and btw i only have one computer fan in my grow box , will that be enough for a 48 / 68 watt lamp ? and btw my grow box its just the size of a printer (its actualy a printer packing box)

Well pretty much, there's a few methods of "training" your plant, but basically, you st op your plant from getting any bigger, or taller, by topping, lst, and many others. But maybe look for a 23 watt one.. and I've seen some nice buds outa a box that big, but only one plant at a time..

soo , for my current grow box , the best setup is a 23 watt lamp and one plant at the time ? im glad you told me this , i was thinking about planting 2 seeds on that box

 

[jdub]

Either a 23 or 48 prob your best bet, heat and space wise... And yes I would only reccomend one in a space that big..
