Hello all, thanks for clicking,
so i am in the midst of beginning my first crop and wanted to share my lighting plan in hopes some of you could assist me with some feedback and advise.
I currently have one 300w CFL , and I plan to purchase another before I start, which I was going to give the seedlings up until the vegetation stage where I'll be adding a MH or HPS [still undecided]. Do you think 2 x 300w CFL's would be a little over powering for the baby seedlings or the contrary? Also, at what distance above the seedlings would be recommend? I am also unsure of how many plants I am going to have although I estimate around 5
Once I am into the vegetation stage, what would you recommend for the vegetation and flowering? I know its advised MH for veg and HPS for flowering but I am working within a budget, so would ideally like to use the same light throughout veg and flowering, with also the CFLs on each side of the grow. I have heard 600w can also be a little too hot for the tent, so would 2 x 400w MH or HPS make a sufficient difference?
Thanks again in advance for the advise.
