putting seedlings in a 3 gallon pot more often than not leads new growers to the #1 mistake overwatering, so be careful not to fall into that groupFinally!!! I germinated 7 seeds and 4 sprouted. I just planted the 4 in 3 gallon pots 3 days ago. My closet is 8 square feet. I have only 3 100watt cfl hanging overhead the 4 plants each with a light reflector and 2700 lumens each. The lights are 2700k. I am making a trip to Home Depot tomorrow to buy some 6500K lights- which I know I should be vegging with already
My questions are in an area this big how many more lights should I buy? Also, am just curious as to what everybodys thoughts are on trying to do a whole grow in the 3 galllon pot-I probably shoud have transplanted but I didnt. Lastly, money is tight so I keep my heat around 65 in my house, is this going to effect my grow or will the lights hanging about 3" from the plants enough heat? Thank you for the time to read my post. I am a newbie and know I'm making some mistakes so hoping I can get some guidance from here on out......
a general target to aim for is a minimum of 50 (actual) watts per sq ft and a minimum of 3000 lumens per sq ftThe lights I bought are ecosmart 150 watt equivalent on the package. 42 energy used in watts? 2600 light output in lumens. I'm a newbie but would'nt 3 of them equal 7800 lumens?
