Enough Light?
4x Bright Effects 23w, 1600 LUM
2 Plants, with the 4 Lights, will it work?
The plants are already growin, have them outside in the sunlight.
for a while it might work. i had 2 plants with 2 23w cw cfls and one plant kicked the proverbial bucket so now i have those 4 plus 2 40 watters. it's a girl, too. i'd take pictures but i don't have a camera to do so.
Okay thanks, I live in Socal and it gets a good 9 hours of DIRECT SUNLIGHT, Should I bring in the plants at sunset for the lights or just have it on the lights for 24/7?
can't get much brighter than direct sunlight. that and you would save on hydro, too.
Well since we dont get 24 hours light, should I let it soak up as much real sun as possible and bring them in after the sun is setting?
The only prob with leaving them out, they will get so big that they may out grow the CFL lights. You could try, but I would prob keep them as close to the CFL's as possible, about 1 inch. I veged out 12 plants one time under 6 23W CFL's and they were short and squat, about 7 inches with about 10 or more nodes.
Adieu
you'll need at least twice that many. i had 2 double 48" floro fixtures with 4 k+b bulbs, and 16 23w cfl's for 8 plants initially. traded the floro's for hps, will lose the cfl's when i have another hps running. downt to five plants.
obviously you are vegging. how old are your babies and how much room do you have to flower?
love, kp:p
Unlimited Room, I posted a thread in OUTDOOR GROWING Section, theres some Pictures of them about 2 weeks old.
Heres my setup, Im going to make a Lid/Cover with Tin-Foil and cardboard. Also going to put a fan on it.
Also, if you look at the last picture, I noticed the Stem this morning is kinda of Transparent, It seems to be decaying or something, its also very limp, I tried to straiten it out but its just limp, any ideas?
After 7 Hours of those 4 CFL's The plant has seemed to straiten out its little 'kink' at the bottom, its looking very promising :)
Updates tommorow :)
you'll need another 4-8 in a couple weeks. lights that is...
To flower?
veg, your plants will be getting bigger.
when flowering, they'l probably need at least 4 bulbs each, but twice that many would put you on the right lumen path.
i'm using a 400hps and 16 23w cfl's for 5 blueberrys...
you might want to start saving money your gonna need either a 250 or 400 watt hps system for flowering, you could brobably use a 250 sence theres only two plants
or just get a bunch more cfl's since there 10$ for four; i was on a budget and was going completly florecent, but now i have a 400 hps and 2 400mh's (40$ for both from a flea market:thumbsup:)
Thanks Kind Princess, I do some pose's for you :)
Good lord...why so many CFL's? Maybe just lose em' and make it a 600w hps or something? I'd kinda like to see a picture of that setup..that's a shitload of bulbs..Quote:

UPDATE
After the plants first 24 Hours of Constant CLF's It seems to be withering a small ammount, whats the deal?
Too much light? Not enough water?
I also modified my box, using a large cardboard box I put holes for ventilations on Side, and a big slot for a Fan to blow on them, the seedlings are swaying in the wind of this fan, it should help them quite a bit.
I gave them 1 Hour of darkness today to heal.
the plants will be transpiring more on 24 hours light, the roots will get the message after a day or two. make sure the temps aren't too high.
I didnt see anyone else say this.. but you need to seperate them as soon as you can.. like right now!!
^^ What he said
Upadte, Day 3 Under 24/0, They are looking nice, the runt seems to be not wilting like the bigger plant. :D
