Leave it like it is and raise the light so they can stretch... What do you think a blurpie light does??? Throws the whole spectrum at the plant!!! I have QBs set up with 3500k and 2700k light running full grow....

These Meters are used most in photography it has made my crop look great just by using this meter the nugs on my last harvest were baseball size I only get nuggets like that outdoors but with this meter you take the guesswork out of getting the most out of your indoor light.

This what my nugs looked like first time I used the meter and my plants were a month old when I got that meter.

same cheap meter I use for adjust plant heights and lights. Honestly I'm probably in the camp that keeps the lights too close and occasionally burns the plant. Those overnight stretches get me sometime.

Ooops, responding to a necro. Oh well!

Hi I'm a complete newbie doing a windowsill grow for fun.

If I want to supplement the grow with a cfl setup how much would I need for 1 plant?

Really appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks dude but is there a base amount you'd recommend?

A plant will easily take up a 2'x2' space or 4sq. ft. You want 50 watts per sq. ft. So if you are serious about wanting something worth harvesting you will need 200 actual watts. Or about 9 - 23w cfl bulbs.
