First time 100% Germ-- ready for cfl?

[Smokey Mcpotster]

Woot:banana: They all popped. Thanks to ppl at MP.

Are they ready for the CFL?
How far away should I put them.?
I have 2 26 watt 1600 lumen cfl's ready to go!!!!

also being in 1" rockwool should I judge water needed by how the rockwool feels? I mean water weight feel. I have been giving them a 5 or 6 drops a couple times a day.
Thanks again girls/guys.

Don't know about the rockwool but try to keep the clf's 3 to 6 inches from the tops of the seedlings. They look ready to me I have sprouted seeds dirrectly under the cfl's with no problems. You have to watch every day or the plants will grow into the lights, burning them fairy quickly

They are way ready for cfl's...it is really hard to burn a plant with cfl's...it wld hve to be almost right on them....get it on them and keep it low....

 

[PUFF MONKEY]

yes, close is good....like 1 inch...

Awwwwww.... they're cuter than a bug's ear!

Yup... you can have the fluoros as close as they can get your plants to the bulbs without touching them. This will encourage less stretchy growth and keep your plant more compact. If you keep the lights away from them they will soon become very leggy and top heavy.

Happy Growing!

Hello smokey you may wish to add a dash of kelp or seaweed nutrient into your water as well this will help to promote root growth ! Peace and all the best !
