Flourescentastic!Really that pic in the other thread says it all.I use flo's too but only at first.People that keep their plants at a couple inches below the tubes are going to benefit I hope.My growtip is always either between lamps or right on the lamp while I bend the top fans down daily.

right now runnin 6 tubes,(18 plants) placed week old, in cups, up to the bottom leaves, 3 days ago
gave them 2 quarts of water tonight, weighted them against a test cup,to see if they need water. poured right on the tubes,to wash them off, and drip into the cups, some spill, but thats okay,adds moisture to the next stage of planting and help keep the dust down. grow is in a dual,deep sink fixture, so, any excess, will drain out the drain, to a catch pan

I'm using last year soil and a 1/3 total of MG african violet potting mix.
the tubes is:

they have some 5000k and 90CRI, should I try to get some "for the shop" :joint: my window fan quit, yes both of them, and can't find any,, wrong time of the year, a friend bought me a attic fan, but it's to strong, its why they needed water.. I think i found a smaller fan..

I also cut the lights down to 2 bulbs (cloudy day) and fan off for the short time the nurse stops by to check me.. know one knows...about my secret room

I found some "sunstick"-5000k and 90CRI-- They are toooo hot.

So ,I will use them as the top bulbs (600w)


the cool white are 81* and the sunstick are 110* checking with a laser heat gun

I was asked. Why bag seed and floro?

cause, I want to know when the time comes,??? after many runs/i know the plant will have a easier life, be able to spot what it needs...to grow into a frosty covered bud.. then i will seek genetics..

I use tubes, cause they were free :joint: as, was the sink, that can become a flood table. or go hydro..

for the number people>>>as of now-- 16 tubes
4400 lumens each
8-4100K cool white 87 CRI
8-5000k sunstick 90 CRI

I'm not good at countin, 16x75w=1200w/8ft=150w PER FOOT
4400x16=70,400 lumems
8x4100+8x5000=72,800K
