First Growbox

kccab87 · #1 12-03-2007, 08:26 PM

I have a grow box set up that currently holds 8 plants plus a seedling. There are 4 dank and 4 30-bud plants. The seedling is also dank. Yesterday i moved them from a
single box to a double stacked box. Right now they are under five 25w CFL's, but now that they are further away from the light i plan on adding more CFL's. They are
in their 4th week of the vegetative stage.

How many CFL's should i use at a distance of 2-3 feet?

I also have two HPS ballast setup to help with flowering. Should i just go ahead and turn the HPS lights on now or will that just enduce flowering?

Here are some pics of the plants at 3 weeks old(vegetative) in and out of their growbox.
