when can these go under MH?

about 5 days since planting.





I need to replant, repot them, I know, but I don't have room.. they are in the clone room with very little light.

once they have 4 or 5 internodes (sets of leaves) then put them under a MH. keep your seedlings closer together and get the light about 2 inches from the seedlings. that should stop them stretching.

or just put them under the mh now

What would be the benefits/disadvantages of keeping them under fluoros vs the MH, besides electrical output being less under the fluoros and the MH providing a better spectrum of light?

flourous lot longer to veg than a mh...thats for sure

The advantages of using floros on a baby that size will be stretch reduction,I'd suggest instead of a couple inches 1/4 to 1/2 inch under tubes.After they grew a few nodes I might move them to HIDs.

guess i will repot them and put them on the outer edges of the MH not directly under. I don't have any tubes right now, just the CFLs. They were together, just spaced them while checking on them

they are 9 "Pure" and 4 "Ice Cream"... got 5 Menage I planted today, those are the ones not up yet.

thanks,

Flouros only provide stretch reduction if the spectrum is right.
If they're normal warmwhite 2700K cfls then they'll stretch.
