fluorescent lights

[psteve]

damn. if stinky and steve suggest the tubes, they gotta be good

im using 10 daylight 23w cfls for 5 seedlings, and theyre happy so far (gonna up it by a few bulbs once theyre bigger i think)

You're doing great, and on the right track. Your current 230w of cfl's is plenty for 5 seedlings.
Once they get bigger you'll want more coverage.
What I would do is add the tubes vertically as side lighting, to ensure good light penetration.
How big is your space?

What if I don't want to get a sodium pressure light, what happens if you use one of these fluorescent lights while it buds? I know less yield, but what else? See attached image Rating: 5
