Ok here's the deal. To make a long story short, I toasted 3 of my bagseed babies when I moved them under three 23w CFL (one per light). Had them in a grow box with a shitty 15w 18" fluoro and they were growing nice for about a week until I bought the cfls. I removed the tube and replaced it with the cfl. From what I read, they say keep them an inch from the plants, which I did, but I guess it was too much for them to handle so young. Guess the one inch rule is more for older plants since it honestly didn't feel that hot 1" away.
Luckily, they were my trial run bagseeds. I have my good attitude seeds germinating now and don't want to make the same mistake twice. I'm pretty good with electrical, but not really the carpentry type so I'm having trouble making a rig/set up. For the 3 cfl's that toasted the seedlings, I basically just had them dangling from the cord.
I was thinking about using a power strip for the cfl and mounting it above, but at this point I really don't wanna put too much more money into this if I don't really have to.
Here are the pics of my room and supplies. Like I said, they were growing good with that fluoro tube so I was thinking about maybe just buying another one so I don't toast my good seeds this time.
BTW-This is NOT an indoor grow. I'm doing an outdoor this year but want to start them inside for a few weeks before I move them out. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
