Just bought some baby Enviros from Homebase They are so small! I paid £8 for 2 lights and another £8 for two desk lamps (two fit the bulbs in ) so £15 all together. They are 20watt each?

Also there is a number on the side: "61204" Is this the colour spectrum thingy?

cheers,

when you see the color spec of the light it will be listed by a number with a k on the end, for kelvin. ex. 3000k

ah ok, its probobly something else then. Well I have them set up! boy are they hot though, not like my old 13w t5.

Do you think I should buy some more? or will 1 bulb (20w) per plant be enough? (which I doubt)

20w per plant wont be enough for veg, make sure you get lights in the range of 5000k and up for veg and 3000k and lower for flower. if you want to know how much light you need, how many plants do you have?

I have 2 plants in flowering, one is a 12/12 from seed and the other had 2 week veging The 2 week old one has been bent 3 times becuase it is so tall, its stretching like mad.

This is my first grow so Iam not intrested in potency, yield and stuff like that. I will be happy with what ever the outcome. On my second grow I will be fussy

so you have a total of 40w for those 2 plants in flowering?
i wouldnt think a 20w t5 would produce more than 1700 lumens, if you wanted results that werent a waste of time id go at least 150w.

youve planted a seed, waited for it to sprout and thrown it straight into 12/12 lighting without time for veg? not gonna get anythin there im afraid...

looks to me like you have enough room for at least 3 weeks veg on each. defo be worth it come 'harvest' time. if i were you, id pack in more lights, veg for another couple of weeks using lst, then flower. as someone already said, itll be pretty much pointless otherwise. lucky to get a joint...
