propagation for outdoor grow

i am going to be propagating seedlings for my outdoor summer grow bout april 1st or so my question is,,,i currently have a 48" t12 fixture w/a 60w cool lamp. would i be better off losing 20 watts worth of lumens and going w/a 40w full spectrum agrosun?

No. dont get the full spectrum, unless you want to grow bud inside... Cool white light is 5000K or more 6500k its blue spectrum, plants can only abosorb this light during VEG. when in Flower, they need 2300k - 3700k Warm light Red Spectrum... they only absorb this light during flower.. now since you want to plant outside, use the 60w t12 cool lamp... grow them untill april 1st, either dig out a hole in the ground where you want them fill it with good soil or have them in large pots 5+ Gallon for outdoors. either or. So goodluck you'll be planting outdoors half a month before me goodluck to ya lad.

thanx ! i will be veging a flowering outdoors just wanted to know if the 60w cool lamp was ok for propagation

hey im doin the same thing only im gonna veg mine inside for about 2 months and plant outside in early may. do u think they will be ready to harvest by august?

2 months... then a month of May... then june, july, august?

thats 6 months dude... way to much.

2 months veg inside... 2 months veg outside... 8 weeks flower

i dont know what your geographic location is but where i live outdoor grows dont even start flowering till late aug and harvest is useually early oct

new england-probly the same

im in indiana and plants wont even start showing pistils till mid to late aug

When you put your plant(s) outdoors nature dicates when it/they will flower. The only thing that you can do about this is put them outside later. That is if you don't want them sitting outside for several months.
