I grew three plants under two 15w cool whites, and two 25w CFLs, this was only for the vegetive stage though, during the vegging they grew really quickly too. But now i have them under a 250w HPS, and i took a cutting yesterday and put it in a 'gel2root' tray thing, so i am hoping that works. You could grow with CFLs all the way, but you would need an army of them. Would it be possible for you to veg your plants, then put them outside, i think that might be the best option for you.
alex32 Reviewed by alex32 on . Will this setup work? Hey everyone, This is my first grow. I just want to grow a handful of plants indoors and i'm not ready to spend alot on a HID or HPS setup. I have about 7 little sprouts. I bought a 2-40 watt, 1600 lumens, 2700K four foot flourescent bulbs. I have the bulbs a few inches from the sprouts. Will this setup work for my whole harvest? Could i do better with a compact flourescent setup? Thanks. Rating: 5
