Ive just started out growing my own seeds as im fed up of paying out all the time. Now i know there proberbly is some where on the forum that exsplains about what im about to ask.

Im currently using 2 Flo's 1 coolwhite 40w and 1 pinky colour 40w(I think they are 40w but cant tell as they are repossed out of an aquarium). I have the pinky 1 positioned directly over my 2 plants about 5" away + they aint sprouted yet.

Now i was wondering if this would be enough lumens for the plants or whould i need an extra 1 or 2. The area that im growing in is 32"W 26"L & 78"H

if they are indeed 40Watts...they are fine...although with that height on the grow box...you will need to get a chain or wire...something that you can hang the fixture with so the area between the lights and the plants can be adjusted...you want those lights as close as you can get them to the plants...without burning them with heat....the closer the light...the more potential yeild...
