Whats up...i was wondering if i needed to change up my lighting situation. I am growing right now on a two foot, two bulb flourescent light set up with two T12 Plant and Aquarium lights. The plants have sprouted and grow really well. I got 9 out of 10 do start out strong. I was just wondering if later on I would have to change my lighting and if so, what should I change them to. I am new to this and didd everything from scratch. help me out. also, my sprouts seem to be growing really fast as well? is that good or bad or what? help me out
thanx

good , just keep the floros low to the plant , within a few inches if the heat is ok.. and i would update to a 400 or 1000 w hps in a few weeks man , floros isnt worth ur time.

do you have any idea where i can find an affordable set up for that. i will probably go with the 400 because i have a small space to work with?

no man its a waste of time , the difference is only with the grower a good sence of mind and experiance to hone the difference, go to the hydro store and buy dnf grow , and dnf bloom for flowering , folow the chart only as a guidline , watch ur tds and if u see nute burn , flush and if its slow nute burn starting from the bottom and slowly... u add a bit stronger nutes next time ok best of luck any more questions ?
