Just started growing, I have a few questions. How long should I germinate seeds before transfering them to soil? Its been 24 hours now and they have started to crack. also will a 100w CFL in a 1x1x2' box be enough ligh for one plant? thanks -cocoa-
100w is enough to get a very shitty yield. i'd go 200 minimum. check my thread in siggie for info on germination
wait until the the little taproot is between 1/4 and a 1/2 inch. Then, CAREFULLY place it (root down) into your growing medium. I agree with Stylez, 100W is a little anemic.
I dont wanna Hijack, But say: Can someone use around 100w in CFLs in a little growbox until the plants are kinda big ( 6-8 inches) and are ready to go outside? Since theyre at the beginning stages, would that light be enough? Also, I thought its all about lumens, in a sense. One can have (2) 60 watt CFL that only puts out 2,000 lumens, but one could have (4) 30 w bulbs each putting out 1600 lumens each. Who would get the better grow? the second guy, I believe
