Mama's Room

[slohemian]

So i just picked up my mother chamber from goodwill. A solid $7.49 for a TV component cabinet with a glass door, dimensions are 20"widex15"deepx23"tall. A steal in my book. So i wanna put 2 moms in there, and i want to keep them bonzai'd, but i dont know which lights to pick up. Im not going to use anything other than CFL due to the small space, and the fact that its just mother plants.

I was also thinking, i wont really need a carbon scrubber for my mama chamber bcs they wont be gettin stanky since all they wana do is veg rite?

My aota mom stinks alot.. I thought about putting a carbon filter on my mom room because of it, but, I'm lazy, so...

no you really shouldnt need a filter for your mother room. they dont smell that bad, especially if you only have a few of em

So what CFL(s) would i need to keep 1 or 2 mothers happily providing me cuttings? The chamber's dimensions are in my 1st post.

Hi slohemian
I'd suggest a 125 0r 200w Cfl, dependiing on how pften you need/want to take cuttings......&400k spektrum..!

 

[slohemian]

say i want 1-2 cuttings from 2 plants every week. what light

 

[geminibud]

4000K spectrum Cfl's........the higher the watts,the better in my opinion
I use the replacements for standard 100w bulbs and they are B R I G H T!!!

 

[slohemian]

so if i pick up 2 50watts or 1 100watt i'd go for 4000K spectrum? These lights dessipate much heat?

If you only want 2 cuttings a week,you don't need 2 mums.Two to three 42 watt (150 watt equivalent) CFL's will do nicely.Get 6500k bulbs if possible,but it's not necessary.

So im confused, one says 4000K spectrum, now floro joe says 6500K? I have to get my momma plant from seedling to bonzai in one room, and i need to know what i should use for lighting. I want to take 1-2 cuttings a week. Could you guys put some numbers or facts behind why to use what color temperature?
