Too Much Light ?

[mad5387]

I have 16 plants on day 2 of 12/12. Tallest is 20in (sativa). Soon down to 4-6best girls. Can The plants get too much light. I have 3x6x6 closet grow. Starting to flower with 6x40watt = 240watt flo = 18000. Plan to add 6 more for total 36000 lumens. Can I flower the entire time with this setup. I know
a drawbact to flo is effeciency.The new growth is light colored and exploding. I like the 9 sets of leaves on the new growth. ( pic1,2 -sativa pic3,4 -indica.
The indica grew 6 in in 2 days 10 in to 16. I hope they are Shes.
Should I or Can I line the walls with tubes. 20 tubes = 60k lumens.
I dont have HPS $$ now.
Is this overkill.
-----60,000k lum for 4-6 plants ? -----

i wouldent say ya can have too much light
lets put it this way , no matter how much light ya give ya plants there is no way ya can compare that to what the sun gives off if it was growing outside
so my answer is no ya cant give them too much light
just be carefull of the heat with multiple lamps

YEAH BOY!!!!


It is possible to give your plants to much light but your "set up" is very very far from that...

It even happens in nature sometimes at very high altitudes.

When a plant gets to much light the top growth looses its pigment.. The leaves actual turn WHITE...and GROWTH STOPS (at the top of the plant) and when you raise the lights the leaves turn green again (and growth resumes) after a couple days... IT is almost like a burn.. but the leves don't turn YELLOW and they dont become necrotic....

I witnessed this "TOO MUCH LIGHT" scenario with 4 - 600 watt HPS bulbs that were used ina 4x6 grow room... the lights were kept about 8 inches from the plants...

it is not POSSIBLE to over light using FLUORESCENTS..


and NOW you KNOWM


You better flower that sativa... 20 inches tall using fluorescent lights is very tall!

NICE plants.. they look healthy

hey buster...

for 99.9% of the world you are absolutley correct... and "over lighting" is truly a rare phenomenon unless you are at altitudes of over 10,000 feet...

If I were the mis information police, I would not press charges against you. LOL
