Hey all,
Perhaps you read my first post on my plants I over-nuted and had to flush.. they are doing well and should be flowering soon, i decided to keep them outdoors where I moved them from the pots instead of doing a flush.
Anyways, I have some new ones beginning to sprout (the first leaves have just opened up) and next saturday (six days from now) my friend is taking me to a nice store he knows to get some lights. I am going with either T5's or CFL's - which would anybody recommend for a first time grower? they are the only lights ill be using through the entire grow, I dont have too much money to spend since this is my first time and all.
Most important question: will going from less than 12 hours of daylight to 24 hours of lights from my new lights (all the tutorials say 24 hours light, 0 dark while vegging) shock my plants? Should I follow a different lighting schedule since I sprouted them outdoors in the sun?
Also, in the case of either CFL's or T5's (because I think different wattages are required) what wattage bulbs should I get for a small operation (10 plants max probably; five this go-round).
Any other tips for a newbie would be appreciated. Thanks all!!
