When I started with the lighting when they were babies, I used a shop light with two ecolux aquarium grow lights. The veg stage has done fine with these lights. I also had three plants go into flowering outside, I brought them in before the frost. They weren't getting enough sun light where I had them planted. Maybe 4 to 5 hours per day.I could'nt have them out in the open the way the yard is set up. They continued to grow, started flowering, I brought them in and put them under the lights I had. The buds did not grow too much bigger or thicken. I screwed up because of lack of knowledge! Now I want to do it right with this batch.
