Hey bud-ies! I was wondering how many 16 watt 6500k, CFLs to put on a 3 inch tall plant. And how far away to put them. Any ideas?
Thankyoou! One other thing. All of my leaves are slightly yellow all over. Is this a good time to start using nutes?One or two on a 3" plant should be plenty, I think . . . as close a possible w/o touching the foliage. While it's tiny, maybe put a reflector under the planter, or around the bottom of the stalk.
A sheet of mylar, a mirror, foil, etc.

thats what ive heard but is 3 inches a good time to start nuting if all the leaves are starting to have a yellowish tinge?mirrors are no good they eat light, no mirrors mylar or some foil if you have too
well heres how it all started. at first my soil had a npk ratio of .07 .01 .03. with that all of the bottom leave tips started turning yellow and then brown. these would then eventually just fall off. i flushed my soil about a week ago and now all of the leaves, not just the bottom ones are turnng slightly yellow. not near as much as the tips from before though.is there any nute in the soil? if not then yes, start low and build up as not to burn your kids
yea id start using nutes, but like i said start low and build up, sounds like these babies have already went thru some stuffwell heres how it all started. at first my soil had a npk ratio of .07 .01 .03. with that all of the bottom leave tips started turning yellow and then brown. these would then eventually just fall off. i flushed my soil about a week ago and now all of the leaves, not just the bottom ones are turnng slightly yellow. not near as much as the tips from before though.
If a person doesn't have access to mylar, foil, etc. mirrors are much better than nothing. The concept of mirrors "eating" light is utter non-sense. It reflects in the 70% range, where as mylar is in the 90+ reflective range.mirrors are no good they eat light, no mirrors mylar or some foil if you have too
thanks! ill doo that.yea id start using nutes, but like i said start low and build up, sounds like these babies have already went thru some stuff
good luck
