enough light?

you need more light.

if you take 3,000 lumens per square foot as the target light for vegging, and squeeze three fully vegged plants per square foot, then you need a total of 30,000 lumens. you have about 11,000 lumens now.

that equals thirteen more 23 watt cfl's or thirteen more 2 foot long t8's.

you can use less light but it will take a lot longer to get them 1' tall.

your lighting might be ok for 3 plants definatly not 30.

all seemed to work out i have like 30 under 6 2ft t8s tookabout a month and a half to get a foot tall thanks for your help

well theres your answer .... if it takes a month and a half to get a foot tall then u dont have enough light..... also be carefull puttin them right out in the sun for extended periods it can sometimes shock little plants and u want the least amount of stress possible

lol, by a month in half i got what you see in my avatar...LOL. From seed!!

i wasnt really looking to ge them tall fast because they are not going out for a little while longer i guess the question was really could i keep them alive and thriving and that seems to have worked out

ok.... sure..... they will stay alive as long as u keep em in veg... people sometimes flower then re-veg em even...

that was the plan to re-veg after i can sex them then outsidce they go

oh well hell your fine then...

i am actuall very surprised at how much they have grown inthe last week and a half like 4in or so its crazy i did not really intend on them growing this big this quick i need to get them out but a little to early gor where im at
