if the light is too faraway then yes. but they dont need to be two inches away during seedling stage
This is my setup. The 2 lights in front are 23 watt 5500K the other two are 23 watt 3000Ks, and on both sides of the wall there is aluminum foil. On my next trip to walmart I plan on picking up a small fan.
I'm using Sta-Green Moisture Max. How much and how often should I be watering her? Right now she's on an 18hr cycle 10pm - 4pm
It's way better to under water than to over water. Some people water every couple days, some people water every 5 days. It depends on the environment your plant is in, (meaning the temp. by the plant, and how fast the water evaporates). Usually you can tell by gently putting your finger a couple of inches into the soil. If you see the soil pulling away from the side of the pot it's really dry. Good luck.
I haven't been able to find any 6500s at any stores around here. What I'm using is too 5500s and 2 3000s.
If there's a Wal-Mart by you, they sell 6500K's. They are in a white package with blue border and say 6500K vertically on the left side. I think they are GE's. The 2700K's you can get at Home Depot, the package is white with green, and in very small print on the upper left side under a small paragraph it says colo temp 2700K. The ones at WM are like $4.50 for 2 23 watters, and the ones at HD are like $6.88 for 2 23 watters. Both put out 1600 lumens per bulb. The ones that you have will work, but I think it's the others are a more effective part of the spectrum for what you're trying to do.
