Nothing wrong with bagseed, might find a real keeper :thumbsup:

Can't access the HD site now (maintenance?). What is the actual wattage of the bulbs? Kelvin (2700K or 6500K)? Lumens?

that should be fine for now. i was using 3-26w CFL's for 5 seedlings and they're growing up amazingly. i dont know if it would work out for the whole grow tho. my plants are about 13 days old now and they moving along just fine with the 3 lights. i do plan on adding more soon tho and maybe you should also:thumbsup:


BTW- hope u get a female:jointsmile:
Happy Growing

Those lights are only effective 1-3 inches from the plant. Even if growing just one plant, you should have several of those bulbs surrounding the plant. Final yield and quality are very much dependent on how much light you have.
