So....I am growing 2 plants in soil.
Up until today I had 1 42W CFL hanging horizontally over each plant approximately 2cm away.
My plants have gotten to their 3rd leaf set so I thought that I would try and get some more light on the babies so....
What I did was now I have 2 42W CFL's hanging about 1 inch away from one plant....
And 4 23W CFL's hanging about 2 inches away from the other plant. I used 2 bulb adapters (splits one socket into 2) so that I could hand the 23W's but now they are much further away from the plants than the 42W was.
Any suggestions?
Will this be enough light even though the 23W cfls arent right up on the leaves?
And will the lights being further cause my plants to stretch? So far with the single 42W CFL all the leaves have stayed bushy and the plant is still short.
