:joint:wats good people,

I germinated some ata tundra and thai seeds the other day, they germinated and i planted the seeds, one sprot has just come thru this morining:hump::hump::hump:which im very happy about lol this is my first grow. I have 2 20watt CFLs about 5 inches above both pots. i was just wondering is this ok to have the light that far away? or should i move them closer? i have a 85 watt cfl that i can plaug in at any time along with 3 more 20watt cfls. at what stage do u think it wud be best to introduce all the light to the plants?. as im growing 2 plants im definatly going to be buying more lights.

Thanks in Advance guys:mrgreen:

Im just about to roll a dooby. :joint::joint::blsmoke:

well at the moment only one has sprouted and its bending slightly to the right , i just moved the cfl to about 3 inches to the top of the plant so i hope the sprout knows what direction to grow in.

yeh, cos my setup has a cfl 20watt to the left (above the sprout) and then a 85 watt cfl in the middle and another 20 watt to the right, last night i had the 85 watt cfl turned on instead of the 2o watts, i soon realised this was abit stupid so i changed it to the 2o watts and turned off the 85 watt. so im gonna leave the lights on 24/0 and hopefully he will start growing up, when u said move it 180 would this be the pot or the light?.

Again thanks for you help :)

just the pot because the plant should tilt the other way to the light

well i left it with the light above it, i just checked and its pointing upwards so its all good, so you say it should be atleast 4-5 inches before i start adding more cfls?
