we probably wouldnt get a 600w hps even if we could afford it, it would over heat the closet and cook the plants
dope indeed. but like i said, most of the lower leaves of the seedlings that i have lost most of the bottom leaves, i guess cause lack of light but idk may b ph problems,. i have no way to test the ph of the seedlings' soil, but also i do NOT have reflectors. but i DO have one plant that is bushed out the most, but it still has some dead lower leaves. they really dont look too great at all and are stretched a bit even though i have had the lights as close to them as possible. this is what led me to believe that i dont have enough lights. but as long as they r green, they are going to stay. this is my first cfl grow and i didn't do to much research on them at first bc i used my a ballast on the last veg.i have a 600w mh/hps switchable ballast and lamp but i have one flowering and i have it on my big girl. so i had to find some other way to give the other 24 hours. but i know i dont have near enough lights. sorry to blab cuz, but the more plants you have the less likely that just 1 26w cfl per plant will work i would think. i am about to order 6 40w cfl and veg three at a time till i can get more lights. take it easy. here are some pics of these poorly grown plants. my last girl i used the mh turned out great never having a crisp leaf until flowering. pic of her as well
