dont know much about the betty boo. but flowering and budding are the same thing. and you can use a full spectrum bulb the whole grow or you use 6500k for vegetation and 2700k for flowering. are you planning cfl's? t5? led? welcome to AFN ALSO id take a read through the website and you will find many generous growers and great beginners info . im sure someone is gonna answer your betty boo question shortly.

Hey thanks guys i didn't know i would get help so fast

Ok firstly i was asking about the lighting because of the size of my grow box, plus i don't want to burn anything its not the affordability.

I will be growing in soil i have just managed to germinate the seeds and have put them in soil today, please see the pics below of the grow box (50cm x 80cm x 90cm) , if you guys think i shouldn't use it please let me know.

Hello. I'm in the process of growing Betty Boos. First of all, it is really easy strain to grow. Just remember to water it and watch the progress. I had regular seeds and I have taken out the males and 8 females are now growing. Mine showed their sex around day 25. As for lightning, I have 120W worth of 2700K CFLs (6 bulbs). I'm not seeing next grow in near future so I skimped on lights. The way I hang them, 3 per cabinet, they give 3450 lumens/sqft. Medium is coco hempy and last feed was Canna A+B ~18 ml in 5 liters of water, pH 5.8-6. And I think they can take some more

What else... oh, the odor. Some sweet scent emits from them (oldest are 32 days) but no skunk. They smell like coffee beans from up close

edit: I realized that 8 sounds like a large amount but six of them are in 0.4 dl pints, one in 1 liter and one in 4 liter container. I just saw your grow box... Mine are in two roofless 100cm x 55cm x 45 cm "cabinets". Walls are made of reflecting white plastic. No fans needed minus side being the odor leak but it can be controlled.

You seen my box should i grow them in there or a cupboard or buy another tent and what bulb do i use please?

I'm a first time grower so I have no experience other than my current set up. But, if you can get the air to change there sure. For the bulb I'd put CFL(s). They can be 4 cm away from the tips without burn. As a strain BB is perfect for boxes like this; my tallest is 13 cm high and shooting pistils so I don't think it'll get above 20 cm. They grow more width.

So if i go for cfl what size do you think i should use? Air won't be a problem :smokebuds:

Then as high as you can
My restriction was E27 socket chord, it supports max 60W, and price. But if you can go E40 and 200W bulb then by all means. 2700K works fine for me.
