Hello i hav a question... Im using 2x18w t8's, 2 feet long each.. for 5 seedlings at the moment and was wondering as to how long these floros can veg my seedlings for? I was thinking about keeping them under for about 2 weeks 24/7 then swicth to my 400w dual spec hps on 18/6 then later flower..

Shud i switch to my hps earlier than 2 weeks since my floros arent that strong and my plants may stretch? i just want the best for my plants and want them to be bushy not tall heres a pic or to so you know what im talking about.
thanks

Thats good thinking you have bunstinky, I would leave them under the t8s until they get a few sets of real leaves. Sit them to one side not directly under and move them after you know they can handle it, 18-20" above. Also you might want to transplant and bury them deep about the same time.

Kool so your saying leave them under my t8's for a couple of weeks or until theres a few sets of leaves, then place them under my hps like 18-20 inches away from the light and gradually move the light to optimum distance.. And also to transplant before i do so?

thanks for your help
