Hello, I attached pictures of my setup. My plan is to vegetate these two clones for 4-6 weeks, then take them outdoors to flower. I have assembled a shop light with two fluorescent tubes. Each tube is 6500K and 40Watt, so 80 Watts total. I tried to get the plants as close to the lights as possible. They are about 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) away from the light. What do you all think? Will the plants vegetate? Is the light enough? Or should I install another shop light parallel to the current fixture to double the lighting? This is my first time growing btw. Thanks
At 33w per tube and very little heat keep the lights right close to the leaf tip a small fan will help adjust the chains daily, keep within half an inch or so as the light tho ample is weak as the plants grow keep adding more tubes at $10 per rack up to 6-8 tubes a mix of light colors is good 2700k and 6500k cool and warm whites once you hit flower go all warm whites and do heavy pruing 8 inches below the tube as very little light reaches that far anyways here: Fluorescent Light Mania.
