  1. Omay so im doing a idoor organic grow with a single plant for my first one. Im doing a sweet seeds seewt cheese auto fem. Im using a t-5 2ft 4 bulb with 2 3000k lights and 2 6000k lights in it and im also going to use a homemade cfl lighting system for the sides of the plant theirs going to be 4 40watt 2700k lights and 2 6000k lights. What does everyone think about this is that too mich light for a single plant. Im not going to use the cfl setup untill the plant gets atleast a half ft tall
     
  2. It is not going to be too much ,people grow under much stronger lights.I personally think that side lights are just a waste ,it will only add more heat with out giving much difference.Your best bet (since you are growing under inferior light ) is to scrog your plant and keep your light as close as you can to the plan. by doing that you can totally skeep those useless side lights .
    P.S.I am sure you know that CFL bulbs are loosing their effectiveness is they are more than couple of inches away from the plant....
    Good luck.
