I just planted my seedlings in their first pot's ( 4'' ) and I was wondering how long should it take for them to sprout ?
I have a rubbermaid box that I flipped upside down and installed 6 cool white CFL's with a small intake fan and I have 4 seedling's in their first pots about 3'' away from the lights. When will I see them sprout ?
Anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. At least from my experience anyways.
is that tin foil inside of that box??
:rastasmoke:
There is tinfoil in the bigger grow box, and inside the smalled box there is tape, its like a tinfoil tap I guess.
hhhhhaaaaa, this looks extremely familiar :D (maby im wrong), but the tinfoil kinda pointless they dont make a difference u gotta use mylar(like those emergency blankets) to effectivly reflect light, & cup of water for humidity? but otherwise looks good wile there small, theyl prob sprout in 3-10 days
ahahahaha silly goose the cup of water is just used for watering the plant's.I have a humidifier I just havnt put it in the room yet.
Also,Ive been unsing tinfoil for my last 3 grows and have never hd a prob useing it.
it wont cause any probs, but those mylar sheets make a big difference in reflecting light and there like $1.50 for a 6*4 blanket jmo
Where can I find it ? I never see it at Home Depot.
Mylar is rather expensive and its usually only at hydroponic stores... I just use flat white paint. Mylar relects like 95% of the light and flat white reflects 80% and cost like 1$. In comparison tin foil only reflects like 50 to 60% and is bad about reflecting heat.Quote:
