Hey guys, been a while and i've read a few threads and searched google and what not.
Will a 15W 2700K (warm white) CFL lamp that outputs 1097 lumen's be enough light for a seedling (it's about half an inch away from it as it does not get very hot).
It's stretching towards it, this seedling has been very stressed and almost got munched at the ground with the other one by a bloody snail/caterpiller. little bastards. It has some damage on the stem so thats why i am saying it has been stressed, but other than that the leaves are a nice shade of light green and i don't see any deficiencies. They have had super thrive, cannazyme and rhizotonic applied which made it significantly pick up and the root shoot through the bottom of the pot. It was falling over initially but about 24-48 hours it has picked up by itself and it is much happier.
It's indoors now, both seedlings were just fine as i would bring them inside every night after a nice day of hot aussie sun which they love then one night i said screw it they'll be fine outdoors and they weren't.
So one out of the two is now inside a speaker which lol looks very funny with a mains cable going into it but i have no requirement for stealth.
Did that make any sense? I know the cool white makes a better lamp for veg so would i be alright with a 42W (not equivalent) CFL thats cool white cause if so i'm going to go buy one when i get paid next week, maybe a more powerful one if i can find it.
Naturally enough i am too paranoid to post photos because of australias widely corrupt police force that'll bust somebody with one seedling instead of busting the hundreds if not thousands of people running 10-20 1000W HPS lamps in a shed. I'll think about it though if any more problems arise, and if that happens "i'll just find some photos on the internet".
