Hi all,

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their awesome work and help with regards to us newbies! It really made my life a pleasure to start growing for the first time!

I need to check something though!

I am currently growing 5 seedlings, they are still small and i have 1 x 40W CFL (daylight 6400k), 1 x 80W CFL(daylight 6400k - this one is huge!), 1 x 30W (daylight 6500k) Tubes, and 1 x Grow tube (3250k). All W outputs for the lights are the actual W outputs! I am Growing them in Fresh Potting Soil After Germination. They are being grown in a 1.2m by 80cm Cupboard with adequate airflow.

Will this be adequate light?

I will post pics soon, im having a bit of difficulty with my new camera! :)

Thank you for the help!

jesus has it right, more light is always going to be better, as long as you don't overheat the box. But you said the airflow is adequate, so if you can add more lights with out over heating, your plants would always appreciate it.

Awesome, thanks guys. Im adding another 40W CFL (daylight 6400k) and another 30 W Grow tube (3250k). It will bring my total wattage up to 250 for 5 plants. And they are all bagseeds and I have no idea what they are as The seeds were all collected into one packet then germinated! :P
