my hid will be too strong for seedling growth?? what should i use. really stick with a fluro for the first week??
I used a HID from the very first day and I never had any problems. My only suggestion is to grow the plant a little deeper in the pot you use so you can raise soil levels after the intial stretch is over. They wont stretch much but i still like to fill the pots with an additional 3 inches of soil. Gluck and keep us updated!
thanks for the reply-- ive used the hid all the way through before as well, I just was not sure if it was okay or not.. things turned out semi-decent in the past but there will always be complications! anyways, im actually planting my 6seeds in rockwool cubes, in a tray with drainage and all. than as soon as these look good im going to go ahead and put them into the aero.. in my past experience i grew straight from seed in the aero, but im going to try something different this time. if all goes well i can just place the rockwool cube between the expanded clay in the aero trays right??
I have a 400w hid? so this is a hps right.. its the long skinny lamp. how far from the seedlings should i place it? and should i keep this on 24hrs??? do the seedlings need this????
also-- how close is close.. my growing space is like a 4x4 square so the light and reflector fit perfectly over it, since the reflector is big. is the heat too much for the wall? or what?? should i cover it. i mean its a white wall.
