Is it possible to have too much light?

setup looks pretty nice man. most of us have cords hanging out of rubbermaids with our cfl grows .. as long as heat is ok and the lights are not too close to the seedlings for the first bit of growing i think your going to kick some arse with that!

those look massive, where did you get those lights and how much?

no such thing as too much light!

that'll be fine. I like the look of ur setup its cool. Just watch out for temps but i think it should be alright.

No way man, as long as you don't ouput more light than the sun nice setup

YES YOU definately can have too much light, what you have wil lbe fine but, when a plantstarts to obtain too much light it will start blocking out the light
causing a lockup and a little thing called light burn

Thanks for everyone's comments, heat has been a problem so I have added two fans. The temp has been staying at 88F which I hope is not to high.
Batman407 I bought the lights on-line from 1000Blubs.com for $32.25 each that was for the 6500K they have the 5000K one's for $22.86 each. That price is for 6 or more.

its it totally possible to poison your plants with light. This mostly only refers to seedling and young clones. because alot of times their is not enough leaf area to handle to much light. You will notice this by the leave curling under because the plant trys to hide its leaves from the light.

I did that, lesson learned...

i envy ur set up...but yeah i wouldnt worry about too much light...like said before just keep the lights a good distance while the plants are young, once they get into veg you probably dont have to worry about too much light haha...and 88 is a little on the higher side but i've heard that if its under 90 its still okay, i think 78 is idea...my room stays at around 80 and at night i just open up the window in my room and some of the cool air circulating usually drops the temp 2 or 3 degrees...dropping the temp is good for the dark cycle (if you use one before flowering) my suggestion is if you have a window anywhere in the room just crack it open during dark time and let some of that cool air leak in and it should be enough to make the babies happy as clams ha

How many plants do u plan on growing??

if ur talkin to me ny as many as sprout...just got one now with 3 cfls...hit me up in a pm if u got any questions i could help with!
