Newbie here, just wondering if I have enough lighting.......Growing 2 plants. I'm in the veg stage, about 2 wks in. My grow box is approximately 4' x 3' x 4' (L W H). I have 4 - 4' HO T5 veg lights, 1 fan on all the time, another fan on when the lights are on. My light cycle is 18 on - 6 off. Comparing the size of my babies to the size of other pics on the internet they are a lot smaller. Any suggetions will help......thanks!!!!!

it all depends on what type of strain what soil, and enveroment put light as close as possable without burning them, good rule use hand on top of plant if not uncoforable then your ok but if to hot for hand to hot for plants how are the nutes and water ,temp should be around 76 degrees hope this helps. light ,water and temp at this stage is very importan

Strain: White Widow
Soil: Fox Farms Ocean Forest
Temps are at: lights on: 72 - 85
lights off: 55 - 70
depending on the temps outside, I am in my attic so the temp range varies day to day
Using RO water with GO Grow and Rapid Start root enhancer
Thanks for the response........

With that age and soil, I wouldn't feed yet if it was me.
The temp dipping into the 50's may slow you down a bit, and watch the upper side too.
85 is pretty close to as high as you'd want to go.
If you're in the attic, can you have 1 fan blowing at the lights to remove heat, and the other circulating air?

Don't feel bad, I do that, for just that reason, and I even asked somebody else that today.
Sorry I didn't think to ask you, but she caught it.
Just so you don't have to come back tomorrow and ask, just extend your dark to the time you want on to start.;-)
