It would very well work according to the Garden Knowm....
Ive talked to garden knowm and he said that he flowers at that young all the time and for my setup its perfect i'll try to link to the post....
Giant leaves!
Read about half way down this post...
I waited 4 weeks to flower this is too long for this machine I believe, but i'm going forward with it anyway this time...
Its been almost 2 weeks into flowering and the center plant is defintiley female....
I'm going to trash the last two in the back because they arent getting enough light and I dont think they are female...
Highall the time, I believe that you are right. Next time I'm going to try to see if I can get the light closer than allowed in the begining...
Scrubbstarr, Its been working very well for me. I just noticed flowering a couple days ago, it was on the 9th day of flowering.
I used 4 tablets that it came with total, and then i bought the line of foxfarm nutrients....
Its pretty strong, I forget the exact lumens per bulb Ill have to check that
But the whole system is less than 60 watts...
The bulb socket I'm not sure if it is a standard socket for cfls or if it is specific to the machine.
If you didnt want to use their lighting system I dont see it being a big deal making that happen, I'm sure its very possible...
Shorty, you are wayyy too negitive for this website, I understand you may just be trying to help but you need to work on your delivery.... You seem like a prick, and we dont need no negitive nellys here, lol.
So if you dont have anything good to say shut your mouth and try to have an open mind.
I dont know why your so full of attack on all your posts, but whatever
Peace dudes
