First time grower and am curious if I have bought the right lights. I have 2 Ecolux plant and aquarium f40 bulbs. I have 4 plants under them right now and they are just coming up out of the soil. Is this the light I should stick with or is there another?

what you need to post is what the color temp and lumens are. color temp will have a K after it (e.g. 5700k, 6300k, etc.), the lumens will be listed right next to that.

No, thats not near enough light, BTW lumens add but not totally so you dont even have 2800 lumens for 4 plants. How big is the box they are in?

you really need the color temp, if memory serves me correctly, you need 5500k or 6300k for flowering and 2700k for vegging. although it's been a while since i read up on any lighting, so it may be off a scotche

The other way around. 6500 for veg, 2700 for flower.
