Thanks for the tips. I may just buy 4 more Daylights 6500k and just use 6 of them through all of veg.



Update: Just went and bought 4 new 26watt 6500k daylights. I'll be putting those in tonight, as well as the two new plants. Pictures coming tomorrow.

Good thing you got those bulbs, I wasnt aware earlier that you needed more light. For now the veg stage you are great. If you plan on putting them to flower at 8 inches, expect them to grow to a height between 16 and 24 inches tall...
Also when you reach the flower stage, you will need more 2700k cfl...

Hey Tatan and DW. I had 4 42 watt 2700k in there before i put the other daylights in. So I'll only need to get 2 more for flower. So now I'm running 6 26watt 6500k lights for veg.

Yep. Been on 18/6 for about 5 days now. Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure I'll have a bunch more questions.

Yup those 42 watt 2700k are the ones.. so 2 more and you are set... You might have to adjust the number of bulbs depending on how much the plants stretch, and remember that its ok to put the cfl 2 or 3 inches away... Thats the good thing about cfl, they dont get that hot, which enables you to get the bulbs really close to the plants

I'm keeping the lights really close to my plants to make them as compact as possible. They haven't shown any signs of heat stress or burn, so I think its alright where it is now. I wont have any problems fixing something up to hold the larger pots I'm going to transplant into. Which reminds me. I got pots with an 8" diameter. Do you think these will be big enough? And about how old should the plants be before I transplant?

I personally use 9 or 10 inch diameter pots, but it all depends on how tall you want your plants to be at the end. You figure they are going to stretch to 2 to 3 times their height duing flowering.
I transplant into a medium pot after 2 weeks of veg, and I keep them in that until the plants are sexed. After discarding the males I put the females into a 9 or 10 inch pot.

I usually transplant into a medium pot after 2 weeks of veg, and I keep them in that until the plants are seced and then I move them into their final container.
I planned on these 8" pots being these plants final home. I am in a confined space so I don't want them to be too terribly tall. I'll probably transplant in a week and keep them in those for the rest of their life.
