I'll get one of those 250 watt hps when i'm a little bit more serious about growing and have a little bit more money to spare. Right now all i'm growing is two plants. Will the lights i have now support the plants (one 18" plant light 510 lumens <whatever that means) 15 watts and two clf's 23 watts)? I would really rather not buy more lights for this grow. I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible.

Well I finally buckled down and got some nutes

I got the Alaska fish fert. I started giving it to my plants today. Here are some pics Green Funk is doing Fine and Droopy is still droopy (hopefully the nutes will pick here up some).

yea,the lights will support them for now but they'll need a couple more in no tme,and ur lights look like they have a orange/reddish glow,are your lights soft whit or cool white??.....because cool white is for vegging because it gives off a blue color and the soft white is for flowering because it gives off a reddish/orange glow that looks like autumn when its harvest time,and yours looks like soft white

Only the light over Green Funk has an orange glow the other clf light over Droopy and the 18" plant light, which is over both plants has the cool glow. Im just going to leave the lights the way they are and see what happens. Do you think that they would grow and bloom with just the lights i have now?

yes

,they would show preflowers if you tried to flower them with those lights but you would have to get about 4-6 more soft whites to even get a decent amount of buds

Shonuff504 · #18 03-14-2008, 03:01 PM

added two more 26 watt clfs I now have 4 altogether. Both plants are doing great after i added the nutes too it, even Droopy don't droop that much any more. Does anyone know how tall the plant should be before i can start flowering them? Well Got some new pics check em out!
