seedling lights

[bobiscool]

im kinda new at this. i have never grown a plant more than 2 inches. now i want to grow a couple of plants out side to get tbut i would like to get their growth started a little early before i plant them in a month or so. i have about a 24x24 in. space to work with and i need help figuring out what lights to put in the box i have. im also on a tight budget!

get a few cfls they produce enough light to grow them get 6000 lumens in there...at least

put 6 of them at least!

6 lights or plants cus i think i was going to put between 6 and eight plants

he was reffering to the lights but i jus grew 4 plants with 4 cfls for a few weeks then 2 broke so i only had 2 big ones that produced 3000 lumens each and a smaller one at 1600...so i was sayin at least 3 lights for seedlings wont be that bad but the more lights the better

its only temporary. just till they get about 3 to 6 in. because its cold over here and i just want a head start before i plant them out side

its up to u i would say spend the most you are willing to spend on lights it will benefit them in the long run
