haha yeah, it's the crappy pic quality due to the lack of lights. Too, the white makes everything kind of blend together.

Haha, i asked this question in my journal too. No response yet. But like ii said in mine, i heard the sun puts out 10000 lumes per sq/ft. So Im aiming for that. My grow area is about 4 sq/ft but im doing more of a SOG using 8 plants so i have less area to light. For you... I dont know i would say try to get at least 15000. For your whole box. Im no expert though, so someone else probably can answer better.

That sounds about right--i remember reading something, but i couldn't quite remember the exact number. i saw some blue and red CFLs, i'm thinking about getting some of those too. i think they're only about 15 watts or so, but is it blue = good for veg and red = good for flowering?

Ya, you got it cooler lights (blues) are better for the veg stage, and warm lights (reds) are better for the flowering stage. So if you plan on swiching to flower "soon" i would just get more red lights, but if your gonna veg for a while, get more blues and then more reds later on.

i won't be flowering anytime soon, they're only 11 days old lol. But i don't have anywhere i have to be, so i'll let them veg for a while before i switch to flowering. It's amazing, i just checked them, and they've grown even more since the last set of pics, which i took yesterday! i mentioned to my husband that it'll be cool to compare the pics and watch how they've grown.

Hey, i found what we were looking for. I knew it was about 10000 lumens per sq/ft for sunlight! lol

Things to know about lighting

It says somewhere between 7000-10000 is optimal. It also talk about what types of lights are best for veg and flowering stages.

Thank, Rope! i have some new pics, hot off the presses. i have no idea what strain these are, but one of them has a purple tint to it. Is that because i'm doing something wrong, or could it be the strain? Also, the bottom leaves seem to be kind of twisty--is this normal from trying to uncurl, or should i be concerned? Thanks for all your help, everyone, i typically have a BLACK thumb, so i'm a little antsy with my babies here. Please tell me what you think, do they look healthy? They're 12 days old today, 3 days after the first set of pics.
