[b]thanks so much

do you think that the 400W would be ok say about 4 or 5 feet above them when they sprout for say 1 week or i'd be better getting 1 x 20W flo tube for the week then move them to the 400W ?


Yeah m8, use the 400w. I am growing 5 plants under a 600w at 5ft and they are growing so fast its unbelivable!! I thought about the fluros, but I was all out of cash and had to make do with what I had..... very glad I did now!


ps. Just dont burn your cupboard down with that homemade sun

hi

re soil, just using an all-in-one type soil, to be honest never gave the soil much thought, will do on my next grow now though thanks

re the 400w, thanks m8, i though that it's best to have the light as close as possible but i think they started to burn as some went yellow, i've moved the light up about 2 feet above them and the yellow leaves are going green again and they are growing faster than ever, roll on smoking time eh

thanks again

scott
