They have stayed perfectly green since they hatched no yellowing, they are getting everything they need, the root system is forming nicely.
The hardest part at the moment is to actually get the basement into some kind of order so that i can veg down there until everythings ready to flower.I can't believe how many plants you are managing.
All the hard work should pay off in the end.
I do that a lot myself, lol. Hard work=stress=need to smoke. lol. Sometimes I'll go whole days just thinking about what i should be doing.
I've even switched the lights on down there so i can see what i'm doing, theres about 4 res's to clean, loads of pots with pebbles in. I may well not bother with that just yet, as it isn't really needed, i just gotta clear up and black bag the rubbish.
No not really, when you consider that people veg with 20 watt cfl,s using a 400w hps with many thousands of lumens at 3-4 foot away for young seedlings is perfect. The plant doesn't need 40,000 lumens at this stage, this is where a metal halide kicks the ass of cfls.
I likewise never gave cfl's much of a chance. Maybe it's because they are just too awkward.CFL's are stupid. just my opinion. we have them in our kitchen. sometimes i turn on the switch and they are bright white. other times they come on a dull brownish color. stupid.
I think that if your growing just a handful of plants then a high powered cfl could maybe fit your needs, but how many cfls would you need to veg a good number of plants.
