  1. I just want to know is the re a such thing as to much light . like a plant growing tall and thin .
    2x2x4 with 2 24 inch flourescents (daylight fluorescent).
     
  2. There is such a thing, but you won't achieve it with fluoros. If your plants are stretching, your bulbs are most likely too far away. Daylights usually do a good job of preventing stretch, and if they're tubes you should be able to move them within an inch of the tops.
     
  3. Too much light? Please tell me where you found that information, I'd like to read it.
     
  4. so just put them closer to the light
     
  5. so just put them closer to the light
     
  6. Have you ever seen light bleaching? I have read that you can overload the plants with HPS lights, but the heat of those bulbs will burn them before you can get them close enough to do it. I don't remember where I read it, but I did. I've bleached plants with fluoros and LED's before. And no I'm not mistaking it for a burn.

    Yes, put them closer to the light. Tubes can touch the plants and not burn them, but they will if left there too long.
