Just curiosity going here but I believe there flourescent bulbs that are for plants? They would not use anywhere near 600watts correct?

Nah, it wasn't for cash, strictly for personal use. Police broke down the door to his apt because they had a report that he was dead, lol. Long story. But anyway, his loss could be my gain.

Short version. His dentist needed to reschedule an appt so they called him. They had his old cell #, and apparently some crazy bitch now owned that #. She screamed at the receptionist and then hung up. The receptionist thought she dialed wrong so she called again. This time the crazy bitch said "I told you he wasn't here, I threw his bitch ass off the balcony and he dead!"

So the recep called the police...and the rest is judicial history, lol.

It was probably 2-3 plants tops. Could have been selling a little bit to friends, but using a lot on his own.

You do not need special bulbs. Regular flourescents work just fine. I have grown my entire garden - tomatoes, peppers, annuals, perennials, etc from seed. Never used hydroponics but the plants won't care about the bulbs that way vs dirt.

I have an aerogarden for the herbs. Thing grows insane amounts. I can't use it fast enough. I'm about to set it up for its second round now that I'm trying to cook more.

Yeah the bluish is supposed to promote foliage growth. The infareds promote stem growth, and therefore, shitty.

Can you borrow gardening space from a nearby friend?
