I'm new here and recently bought 3 125watt Blue spectrum cfls. I have germinated 4 blue cheese seeds and potted them under one of my 125watt bulbs until the start showing signs of life. I was jus wonderin if the seed grow will 375 watts of light be enough to veg the before switching to 400watt hps for flowering. Any help would be great. thanks

I'd say that's plenty to veg. I'm about to run 3 under the same wattage and I would add another if I had room.

I'm not too sure how long to veg for. jus gona see how things go and take it from there. I jus have my seedlings in my wardrobe with the inside painted white and 1 125watt blue spec hanging over them with a homemade beercan reflecter till they get a little bigger. then when i get sum more money i am going to buy a tent an transfer them over thereand add the other 2 125watt bulbs for a few weeks to let them get to a decent size before switching to a 400wat hps. I've been doing my research but still trying to learn as i go.
What you guys tink of of a aluminiuim turkey baking tray for reflecters. Will these cause burn spots? Thanks in advance

if you are delicate enought you should still be able to seperate those 2 in the same cup before the become established. otherwise it will stunt their growth.
