fluorescent first grow

[gravbong]

This is my first time grow so i need some advise. I have a square foot cabinet where I've started to grow 10 plants. Im using 4 fluorescent tubes adding up to 28 fluorescent watts. I have them hanging two inches around the top of the plants. I put tin foil covering the sides and top of the cabinet. (shiny side up) am I going to have a successful grow?

I would say good luck with that one. Be sure to post your results haha

Too many plants; too little light.

I planted them 4 days ago and two already sprouted. im going to switch and get stronger cfls for flowering but will this work just for veg?

[gravbong]

Anybody think it can work?

It should work for a week (just for seedlings). Youre talking about a 1 sq ft space?

[gravbong]

yeah one square foot. there growing pretty fast though, im going to keep them in there past a week and see how it goes from there.

You have adequate space and light for the seedling stage. Once you reach veg you are going to need more space and light, you can veg 4 plants under 125w of cfl light, but only if you are keeping your plants small. Once they hit the flowering stage you need 125w per plant minimum imo. You need to a bit of reading and check out a few cfl grow logs.

3 more sprouted today and the other two grew an inch just from yesterday. With the tin foil in there its really bright, and by the way there growing, are you sure i need more light just for veg?

[PhatJay]

are you sure i need more light just for veg? Errr.... I don't think that is what I wrote. I don't have the time nor the inclination to re word it, so it's probably best to ignore my post.

If you can veg 10 plants with 28 watts in an 1 sq ft space I would say go for it. Keep us updated with pics.
