Cfls for seedlings! 1200w is wayyyyyy to much for 5 day olds
Nah dude u dont understand.. they are only getting the 400 watts of m.h. which i use a 400 watt hps every gorw for seedlings and they love it.. the 800 additional watts of HPS are 7 feet above the seedlings and the bigger plants are blocking all of the light from them....

We talking about sprouts or cuttings? I could argue either way....but if its seedlings....Id probably have to agree.....unless the light is far away...and at that point CFLs up close would probably be better. But clones, now they can handle the wattage, as long as the light is far enough away. Probably a meter or so....shouldent hurt, and your clones will love you :D

seeds but read the post above urs.. believe me guys i know what im doing as you can see from my previous grows.... i even have the airflow limited and partially blocked off around the convict kush to prevent any problems.. ive spent time setting it up and take my word it is as good as it can possibly be.. the cfls are what made them stretchy but you can tell they are looking healthier and stronger today.

i had them close enough... just not enough watts and im not gonna risk a fire hazard to add enough watts.. also HIDs will grow them much faster from what ive seen

LMFAO... I dont use cfls ... :lol: and i wont buy any ever again unless i need lighting for my bathroom or something :lol: Im not taking it personally just telling you my opinion on the issue. I believe they are inferior to HID for growing weed at any stage..

i agree with jn8 i have those hudge cfls i bought from the hrydro store they are like the size of a 400w light and i put them like a finger length away from the top of my seedlings and they still stretch like no tomorrow lol but i have seen people whose dont stretch like that under cfls but thats those people and they must just be into vodoo or something HAHA
