need help with LIGHT for flowering

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by circle ting, May 6, 2013.

  1. ive vegged 2 plants for 3 months and 2 for 2 months im wondering how much light ill need i have a 180 watt panel light and thinking of gettin a 200 watt red cfl is this enough for these 4 plants?
     
  2. You might be better off getting 4 50 watt cfls, plus a couple of 26 watt cfls, per plant for side lighting. depends on how tall your plants are. Cfl,s don't penetrate the canopy too well so side lighting helps. If you can have each plant with it's own overhead light that will help. Ideally 100 watts per plant should suffice.
