i have been waiting on a 150 watt hps from ebay for about 3 weeks but he forgot to ship it and my hps will be here next week. I currently have my sprouts that came out of soil about 2 days ago under 26 watt flourecent. will they be okay until sometiime next week or will they stretch too much and be garbage?
They'll be ok... :)
Just place the CFL close to 'em... and a fan... and love... lots of love... :p
It has to work, right? If the seedling start to stretch, move the flouro closer, if heat becomes an issue, turn a small fan on nearby to help. If that isn't going to work, you could always go out and buy another light.
Is this bagseed, or expensive quality genetics? It's really your call on what you want to do.
thanks alot for the help much appreciated
you can use thru the whole grow, I normally use a couple 400hps. but my current grow is all cfl. trying to save some electric.

no it cost me quite a bit of money it is caramelicious from amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com
I put several seeds into an elongated trough like plant holder and after a few days had activity.I now how 5 out of the 7 sprouted in two stages , theres a fluerescent lamp across the trough with a plant grow light in it and already 3 of the young sprouts have reached the point where they are now pressing against the lamp.The other two are a few days behind by the looks of things but my concern is the 3 are pressing up against the actual lamp which is maybe 3 inches from soil level..what do i do now ?
The obvious is to highten the lamp but isnt that going to cause the saplings to stretch to again reach the light? Whats the best course of action ? Thanks:thumbsup:
