    Understood. I think I've narrowed it it down go something like this if not this exact one.

    Any thoughts before final purchase?

    Think the actual watts on that are 90 to 100w. Would be enough for a plant I'd guess but I'll let the more knowledgeable advise on whether it suits your space. Nice n cheap tho

    You're in a short space so for me that would be the worrying factor as you don't want a light that fries the plants.

    Yes that's why I was leaning more towards the screw in. Feel I may be able to handle heat and won't burn plants as easy (I think lol) plus I can and a remove them as needed.
    Damnit I just confused myself! Lmao

    If you are going to stay in the small grow space, then 120w of CFL is probably the way to go. What i would use is 120w 6500k (blue) bulb(s) for vegging, then switch to the same strength 2700k (red) for flowering. If temps will allow, leave the blue bulb on throughout flower as well.

    Building your own LED would probably be more efficient, but i have no idea about that

    OK I bought an 8 pack led 60w but only able to fit 6 in without bulbs touching. I think I have a solution to get all 8 in tho lol. Also grabed some things for Diy light trap. I don't have time to really mess around with it until later. (It's match day!) Here's a shot of the little ones basking in their new glory lol

    This Is Roughly 7-9 days from seed. Just gave it a full watering yesterday after pots were dry/very light.

    Any thoughts so far? Can't wait to see these new bulbs in action lol

    Day 14: nothing special besides normal growth and the bigger one has a very heavy skunky smell already! I can't stop sniffing it lmao just gave them a lititle water as leaves started to hang slightly. Temps dropped last night due to room being so cold from snow. But all is back to normal. Here's a few pics after watering today. PH on water is 6.8-7.0

    OK guys so bad news(I think). Today I decided to top the Older one. As I do so I noticed balls! (I think) pls help me determine if it is in fact balls or just some type of new growth. Its only in the area where I just topped. Gonna wait to see if anymore pop up in a few days before I chuck it. I have more beans to germ so no worries if it is. I hope pics are clear enough.
