Some more pics of the diy reflector and the 5 gallon vs. 2 gallon pots.
QUESTION: any experts out there can weigh in... My biggest plant is in a pot that is only filled 2/3's with soil. It was a lot closer to the brim when i first planted but after soaking with water the soil level sank. I am considering either re-potting (dangerous??) or just putting soil on top to reach the brim. Please help with advice on a course of action!
CFL QUESTION: My number 2 plant is under a single 42watt jumbo cfl. It's colour temp is 2700k. Is this ok for now or do I need to get a higher color temp bulb on it too?
Why bother adding more soil?.. Not saying you shouldnt, just wondering what the point would be? Are you needing the soil closer to the brim for some reason?
As far as the lights, you can grow it using the 2700k.. but "they" recommend using a daylight for veg rather than a 2700k.
My only other grow, was sort of just tossed together. I had a plant in a cup in the window cill. I determined I didnt want the "stretch" so I kicked a 42watt 2700k on it and it grew fantastically. So, it will work... its just recommended to use a daylight.
... theyre cheap. May as well pick a few up.
