2 26watt cfls' and a 120 watt circular bulb see my pictures.

you should get the light closer to it. but put a thin piece of wood but dont stick it so deep just enough to hold it up then tie it to it.

 

[BlackTurboTeg]

the light should be closer and if u most splint it do what smokey said and be careful!!!

 

[Zeke]

thats a great idea! should i put another one ont he other side and tape them together?

 

[BlackTurboTeg]

yeah to keep the straw closed

 

[SmokeyMacPot]

yep i do the straw thing too but to seedlings

 

[BlackTurboTeg]

keep up the good work and if u can find a way bring that light on the top like 2 inches away from the plant if that is floresent .that would be best for the plants. peace

 

[Zeke]

okay i'll just put the plant closer to teh lights. i dont want to burn them, make the sides of it get all yellow though.

 

[SmokeyMacPot]

just dont let the light touch the bulb and youll be cool. just put your hand inbetween the plant and bulb if it feels hot then move the plant. floros dont really make that much heat so you can put them like 2 inches from the tip of the plant

 

[Zeke]

alrighty, im going to try that, it better not burn my plant lol.

 

[SmokeyMacPot]

lol yeah it will grow better with the light closer. if you dont get burnt your plant wont.

 

[BlackTurboTeg]

it wont burn your plant i use flouresnt lights and i keep it like 2 inches away all the time and never have a problem buring the leaves and it def will grow better closer

 

[SmokeyMacPot]

but like i said put your hand near the plant. if its too hot for you its too hot for your plant

 

[BlackTurboTeg]

like 2 inches is fine like me and smokey have allready said yeah if the leaf is touching the light yeah its going to burn it but other wise it will be fine

 

[Zeke]

okay im not sure but its getting burned at the top all them center leaves are starting to turn yellowish, and they're folding upwards, unless its supposed to do that, cus i've seen plants with pyramidic tops on them.

 

[Zeke]

well i told you it would get burned if i moved the lights closer, they're just cfls, and theyd ont give off any heat. but they got burned anyway....

 

[SmokeyMacPot]

how close did you have them. move the light back but not too far.

 

[Zeke]

like 4 inches away from teh plant, and i put it into 12/12 just now so i can see its sex, i may put it back into veg after that.

 

[BlackTurboTeg]

dunno man fl lights should not burn them it might not be gettin enough circulation but i say that u had a nice size one so dought it and alos it could be lackin nutirents but about the lights if u had it 4 inches a floural wouldnt burn them i keep mine {-----------------} that far away just went and check to dsee how far away.. and that didnt burn it.. dunno keep us posted on how it is doing
