lol. So I need to go to hydro store or similar?
another ? When seedlings sprout, how close would you place to the plant/ aquarium "warm" light. I may have made the wrong assumption that this would work on the baby for a few weeks? I bought a CFL, but the bulb was not good, it only lit up half of it, so I have to take it back

as long as your temps dont go above 85ish on the tops of your plants your light bulbs are not too close, t5 is the diameter of the bulb used in the fixture. and that sucks about your bulb man

I'm a "mam" lol. Thanks for the thoughts. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I have the light right above my baby girl, yet she seems to be reaching a bit...
By blue ones.. you mean just the T5 blue ones?
do you like to "side light" and with what?

re: The Green Help-Me Hotline
well mam, i would say if she is still standing up you will be ok, if she stretches over 6 inches b4 the first set of leaves you might have a light that doesnt have enough lumens, and for side lighting T5 would be my pick, and yes when i say blue i mean the blue T5 bulbs.
High Pressure Sodium (HPS) is red, Metal Halid (MH) is blue T5's can come either way, and so can compact floro's, Above all other i would suggest a HPS/MH if you can afford it.
Good luck girl and im always here to help

re: The Green Help-Me Hotline
growing in a dome... would you use a heating mat under the bottom?
oh no, the little healthy root sticking out of the bottom is now a brown and looks icky! and some of it is gone
Ph was too low on the water... my meter was not reading it correctly. I hope that was all. darn it!

re: The Green Help-Me Hotline
I do use a seedling mat but it is pretty easy to burn em when you do that, if it is turning brown like that sounds like it might be staying too wet, but if the PH is off that could affect it too.
Thank you lil stinker you kick ass

re: The Green Help-Me Hotline
HI NWG, i'm growing for the first time a single plant (femenized white dwarf autoflower) just in my livingroom. i'm planning on using either CFL 40w 625 lumes (x2) or GE "plant grow lights" blue 625 lumes. i'm curious if these will work. I don't have access to hydroponics stores or specialty lighting, I live in a small town and can only access regular equipment.
can you offer any advice on the gear I should use.

re: The Green Help-Me Hotline
I would suggest getting more 2500 red bulbs and more 6500 blue bulbs, you can get these at any walmart or big store, you want the compact floresent and the more the better
