u could put the flourescants at the bottom of the plant and the top, but if you don't have the supplies (enough lights) or time to do so you can find a different way. This is what I'm doing. a cheap 150 watt incandascent grow light on top for the leaves and photosynthesis, then a flouro on the bottom 40 watts total that makes sure all bud sites are fine. and u don't really need to worry about light penetration as much as u are in veg, but it is good to think ahead. but I would worry if bottom leaves have no light and die.
sugarmagnolia Reviewed by sugarmagnolia on . Trimming larger leaves, Ok or not Ok? The leaves on top are big and green(thats great) but I want to cut them back so that the important areas get more light. Is it ok to trim a little without killing my girls or causing them undo stress? I know that you can bend them 90 degrees, but I'd like to grow them straight up and tall. Hoping for some expert advice from the masters out there, much apreciated...... Rating: 5
