Default Should I add my 250w HPS light to my CFL Veg. Stage??
permalink
Ok i have about 7 plants growing. the 3 biggest ones are on they're 16th day of the Veg. Stage. The second 2 biggest ones are in they're 13 day. and the last 2 are one they're 6th day. They look nice and health to me for 2 weeks old. I am using two 23w Sprial CFL's and one 15watt CFL Flouro tube.....

Does you guys think i should add the 250w HPS light to it now to make it better in they're Veg. Stage or should i just wait until the flowering cycle to put the 250w HPS light in??

also one of the plants stem broke into half so idk if it gonna grow back.

Definitely. You definitely won't make it to flower 7 plants on what you have so far. Think 5-7,000 lumens per sqaure foot. An HPS does put out a red spectrum which is ideal for flowering but that doesn't mean its useless in veg.

Im going to transplant them into a bigger pot. But you think one 250w HPS, one 15watt CFL flouro tube, and 4-5 23w spiral CFL's will be enough for about 5 mother plants?
