rootone?
east coast. and its cold, cold tonite. i got some safer's insecticidal soap today, but didn't use it. i gess this mornings 50 degrees ran them off. i will spray tomorrow regardless. question... if i put all 8 plants in the flower box, but only have half the light i need, will i cause any stress or damage? it would only be for a day or 2, but i'd like to run them all at the same time for log/experimental purposes (tried lots of new lst techniques, cool new tricks lerned thread for the future)
current light setup for 1,2,7,8 is 2 48" k and b bulbs 3600lum ea, and 3 23w cfl's 1600 lum. if i put the other four in there tonite, i'll also add another double 48'', but this one has daylight bulbs(6500k) 3050lum
so total lumens until i get the rest of my lights would be 18,100lumens. will this suffice until i get more light? my plan is 11 cfl's, and 8 flo bulbs. this would be a total of 46,400 lumens, if i did my math right.
please let me know. if i had more money to work with at one time, i'd go for an hps or two, but as it stands, i can only add stuff to what i have now.
so far flo's have done remarkably well, and i've seen pics and thread of others who have used them the whole grow. all i can say is that if it doesn't work well this time, i'll get hps for next grow.
thanks bear. talk to you soon
love, brookegrow, or grow not. there is no try.:thumbsup:
