  2. I'd go with something a bit bigger than 120 watt, with 10 plants. :) Seems like a good amount of space, but beware (I can't tell from the pic very well as I'm on my phone) 10 plants will get very big. But goodluck nonetheless.
     
  3. This a picture of the set up.

    They are 6 days old.

    Thanks

  4. Like I said, it's hard for me to see how big it is because I'm on my phone, but it seems like a decent space, very neat, I love that. Goodluck mate, subbd.
     


  5. Thanks. If i bought another grow light?

    And used 2 200w fluro hydrofarm lights.

    Would that be sufficent for that amount of plants?
     
  6. Ha sorry im not fully sure how to reply properly.

  8. Sorry in line duct fan
     
  9. I'm confused about whether or not you bought the 2 200 watt lights. If not, you DEFINITELY need to more than your current 120 watts. I'm no expert and I've read all sorts of different ratios in terms of watts/plant. But the one I seem to come across the most is 100 watts for the first plant and 50 additional watts per light thereafter. Again, that's prob more of an estimate but it should still indicate that you need more lighting.

    GL...
     

  10. I only have 1 light At 120w. Im going
    To buy another grow light. And buy 2 200w bulbs.
    Plants are 8 days old.
    Would 2 200w lights be enough?
     
  11. Have you transplanted them yet? Probably should.
     

  12. No i havent yet. Im waiting to buy another light. And 2 200w bulbs.
    Is that enough or do i need more?

    Sugestions plz?
     
  13. Are you going to grow all 10 of those plants to harvest? Are they feminized?

    The general rule-of-thumb you always hear is 100w per plant, 50w per additional plant. Although it also depends on how long you are going to veg. Bigger plant means more lights needed.

    Your seedlings should be fine for a little while under that 120w light.
     

  14. 6 are feminine. The other 4 are regular.

    I transported them last night into larger pots.

    Watering once every 12 hours ok? I have to work is why
     
  15. Assuming your temps are under control you shouldn't have to water more than once every 2-4 days. I lightly mist my seedlings pretty frequently but I only actually water every few days.

  18. yes the 400w should be enough; assuming you have 2 female in the regular strains that gives you 50w per plant.

    obviously the more watts you have (and lumens and cover) the better.
     

  19. i just changed the 120 to a 200w. i dont think this should do any harm
     
  20. what light are you using? you don't need more that what you have. there is no such thing as a rule of thumb for watts per plant because plants can be any size from 2mm to 2metres. I have grown great bud with just 40w of CFL per square foot of canopy. light isn't everything. its no good giving the plants more light if you haven't got everything else satisfactory
