Light Question !!!

[ToKAlot]

Ok i have two garage 4ft flourecent 34w lights in a 6x5 room and i was wondering oh many plants i could grow in it also the flourecent i have been seeing plants that stretch under them am i going to get that i have good seeds i have bought online but if someone could help it would be great!!!!!

your fixture's will work wonderfully for the first stage of life. however, you need to replace the bulbs. go to lowe's, and get four GE daylight bulbs. they're about 6 bucks each, but well worth it; 6500k, 3050 lum, 40w. i've vegged exclusively with these before (eight plants) with no probs, and only a minor stretch.

the cool thing (heh) about the daylight tubes is that they don't put out heat; therefore, you can let the light touch the leaves, allowing for good tight node spacing.

hope this helps, hon :)

Ohh and thax for posting and the bulbs i have now are cool white i was told that those would work but i dont want stratching!!!

if you don't want stretching, get the bulbs i told you about. your's aren't the right color, even though they're cool.

as for a light, i can hook you up with a 400hps raw for about a hundred; it's at bghydro, i'll get the link to you after work.

gotta go!
