How much light for my bonsai mums

[BudBag]

Can I get by using 10w cfls? I am going to keep them as short and small as possible. I would like to keep 3 or 4 mums. would 1 10w cfl per mum be good enough to keep them producing cuttings? The biggest tube light I could get would be 12" and they come in at 8w per and are more of a pain.

So anybody else keep bonsai style? :\

This site doesn't suck dude, you are just asking a question that could easily be answered if you did some research on your own. People don't want to spoon feed you info man. Check out the GrowFAQ

No. 10watts is not enough light to give the plant the energy it needs to produce foliage at an acceptable rate.

Whats an acceptable rate? I need 2 good clones about once a year from each mum. Just to clear up any confusion. I was asking if 10w per mum would be good. so 40 watts in a .79' space

Make sure to post pics of your harvest man, that should be a nice laugh also. Have a good one.... noob

don't worry about him ... he's one of those god's gifts to pot growing


just use a couple CFL's man they are cheap ... and 2 42watt bulbs per plant will produce plenty of clones if you only need a couple a year

Thanks jwop. The plan on my mother chamber is to be about 12" tall 10"w. The 42w are to big. Thats why I was wonder about using the much smaller 10w. My walmart sells a new "smaller size" cfl the 10w is about 3". I could line the top of the chamber with them... lol But was hoping to get by with less.

Turn the CFL sideways not straight down and even a 42watt would only be about 3 inches. Not to mention that more lumens are visible when the bulb is horizontal not vertical as it's a larger surface area.

Also you really need to chill out. This place is about giving and receiving help when possible and sometimes it just doesn't happen. No reason to get your panties up in a bunch.
