First I would like to say thanx to all you great posters. I probably would not have attempted my first grow if it wasnt for reading all your great advice on this site.
I am still unclear about precisely how I should be lighting my seedlings though. I have had them on a windowsill getting very little direct sunlight and they are now about 2 inches tall with 4 leaves on the top and 2 newer ones a little lower down. Most posts I've read suggest putting them under flourecent lights at this stage but i do not have any. (very limited budget)
I have a 250 watt HPS light in a 6.5 square foot grow room with 8 foot ceiling (walls painted white). Can I put them under my grow light now? if so, roughly how close to the light and what kind of light cycle? Oh yeah, i'm only growing 3 or 4 plants.
Thanx in advance for any input!
