hey guys, im about 4 weeks from seed now. i just recently transplanted for the final time so it might slow for a couple days growth but that is the first stressful event its suffered. my first grow was stressed to the point of killing the plant. i basically learned everything not to do lolz anyways how is 9 inches tall for around 4 weeks old? just curious

I think that is considered a minimum. Reflection seems to also have a lot to do with how many watts you need. Better reflection = less wasted light. There's a guy on here that grows in 15" metal tubes and only uses 3 @ 26 watts each I think. He gets nice results too.

Hey King-

I can usually tell sex around 3 weeks from seed with our year round 12/12 light. My Super Lemon Haze is 60 days old 14" tall, my La woman is 30 days old and is 13", both flowering their ass off on outdoor 12/12. I'm excited to watch your grow as I've finally cleaned out a closet and bought some cfls for vegging and more.

What strain did you say you are growing?

I would personally try to get all those lights on top of the plant. Top lighting is so much more efficient then side lighting just because of how in nature a plant is hit by the sun. Don't get me wrong though, you are going to need more lighting on that plant for flower and adding side lighting is a good idea.

what would u say is the minimum lighting requirements for flowering? ive seen youtube videos where a guy grew and flowered w just 2 cfl 26 watters and although his yield was small, it still produced!! yield isnt that important to me as im new to this and just looking to take a plant to fruition. anything is better than nothin, and it'll be free!!!!!!!
