Hps could probably be even farther away if theyre that small, what size bulb is it?....please dont say 1000 or ill cry for that sprout.Unfortunately I don't have a cfl or anything and there's no point in putting them in the window since it's winter where I am and the light levels are too low.
Floros or florecent tube lights work very well for early development.Unfortunately I don't have a cfl or anything and there's no point in putting them in the window since it's winter where I am and the light levels are too low.
...first off man, seedlings don't need much light at all so putting them under your HPS is way overkill, ...and saying you can't do it because you don't have a CFL just seems lazy, ...a single 23watt CFL will cost you about a buck, i'd bet you could find that buried in your chair. ...not to mention that you are already paying for that bulb with the electrical costs of running that HPS when it isn't needed.Unfortunately I don't have a cfl or anything and there's no point in putting them in the window since it's winter where I am and the light levels are too low.
Yeah I know. It's a little inconvenient to get anywhere right now with the snow here Would the window be suffice for now?...first off man, seedlings don't need much light at all so putting them under your HPS is way overkill, ...and saying you can't do it because you don't have a CFL just seems lazy, ...a single 23watt CFL will cost you about a buck, i'd bet you could find that buried in your chair. ...not to mention that you are already paying for that bulb with the electrical costs of running that HPS when it isn't needed.
...anyway, what i have found to work really well to prop wobbly seedlings up with is those plastic stirrers you get with a cup of coffee, they are plenty stiff enough to hold up a seedling and being plastic they won't go moldy on you.
peace, bozo
...while the AMOUNT of light they will get in a window will be sufficient until you can get out it will probably make your seedlings stretch, ...i'd imagine your HPS will do the same.Yeah I know.

No man but the rockwool is moist.exactly...did you mist them?
No need to mist sprouted seeds, clones yes, germinated seeds noNo man but the rockwool is moist.
