Put the lights within 6 inches of the plants, then get a shit-ton more 42 actuall watt cfl's and arrange them so that they illuminate the entire plant from soil to cola. Just add the additional lights as they grow, they dont all have to be in reflectors, put them straight up and down in between every plant.they have been in the 1 gallon pots for almost a week now. i got them as clones. i just built the box (which does not have to be in your closet) and plan on moving it into my bedroom as my tv stand. yea im just starting to veg them and the strains are grandaddy purps. one question i have is how far should the light br from the plants during the veg stage?
Exactly correct, when growing with CFLs you need to get the lights CLOSE to the plants, and you are going to need more to ensure the plant is getting enough light. They do look good, but I gurantee if you do not move them closer and get more lighting they will start to deteriorate rapidly.Put the lights within 6 inches of the plants, then get a shit-ton more 42 actuall watt cfl's and arrange them so that they illuminate the entire plant from soil to cola.
