Flip now to flower man your going to wish you had more light. Or move one light to a different room and flower half than the other half when they are done. Imo you just wasted a bunch of seeds in less your keeping mothers. They look great up to this point tho man nice job.

Need some kind of solution I heard. Man I'm just trying to survive this lack of light n.e. way

Looks like healthy plants under less than ideal lights. I would add light and hang a curtain reflector on the inside to keep the light near the plants. May also want to consider upgrading your white plastic to mylar.

Tell me dimensions and specs on what you have for lights now.

Edit: found good enough specs (about 300-350w of florescent), just need dimensions.

nomofatum · Mar 23, 2015

I would rig up a "shower curtain" made of mylar so you can enclose them in light and still move it out of the way to tend them.

11'X4'x7' 350cfm exhaust.. total watts like almost 300. 6 3000k h.o. bulbs and 6 6500k h.o bulbs.. temp 78 day 74 night. 18-6 4 now i guess..

So a curtain to go around all the plants made of mylar?? I like that.

you should have them all 6500k tubes for vegging (to 12 veg bulbs) and if you switch to bloom get all 12 as 3000k bloom tubes. youll be better off with ALL bloom bulbs esp if youre lacking light to begin. good looks!

I would remove 1 of the 3 fixtures you have to use for cloning/seed starting in another location. The other two fixtures I would rotate 90 degrees and place centered at 3' 8" from either side. Replace all the bulbs, 8 UVB 10% bulbs, the rest 6500k. Add 3 600w HPS lights.

HPS - T5 - HPS - T5 - HPS

This will give you a good mix of light spectrum and get you up to proper lighting levels. If you plan on veging in this space you will want to swap bulbs to MH instead of HPS and 2700-3500k bulbs (I always like to mix spectrum, just keeping the primary much stronger and supplementing the opposite of the main lights.)
