I use some flor's for my seedlings(Mix of two warm and two cool).When I transplant into my 4 gallon pots around the begining of the third week,they then get the 400MH (6,500 lumen bulb)and when I know the sex,the go under a 400 HPS.Keep it GREEN

[jb247]

I use CFL's for my seedlings, veg under a T-5 fluoro and flower under a pair of 400W HPS. I recently added the t-5 unit, it's 2' long and has 8 bulbs, so far the plants are very healthy, but they are staying short longer, much bushier plants.

Peace...j.b.
