CFL's question mark.

[terrancefartbubbler]

Hey dudes wondering if someone could help me out with a CFL question. Got my seeds from cg today and once sprouted I plan on putting them under a CFL antil they grow enough to stick outside. Can I have them in a dark corner of my house under CFL or do they need to be in complete darkness with the only light source been the CFL bulb?

Just put them straight outside now, out of direct sunlight, under some shade cloth will do while their seedlings...

No need for cfl's this time of year...

The weather here is rain wind and overcast for the next 14 days, good timing to give them a headstart with 2 or 3 weeks of 24 hours light since it's so late in the season.

Yeah fair enough, outside, then inside under cfl during the night time, that lil cfl will not be doing much really...

24hrs is OK, but I like to give them at least a couple hrs of darkness to rest, don't know if it benefits them or not, but I like to think it does...

Start a Diary so we all can follow along

Try match the same amount of daylight hours you are getting now thats where I've always fucked up

Arrg you don't reckon that CFL be ok for 2 seedlings for few weeks?

 

[terrancefartbubbler]

Yep ok will do a diary

 

[terrancefartbubbler]

That's a 24w CFL equivalent to 100w 1450lumen

Yeah they be OK to use for a couple weeks,I use cfl tubes from seed to early seedlings, only till good root growth but, then under the big light..

I wouldn't think they would be good enough for the extra growth your after cause of a late start...

@The Stoned Jester has done full grows under CFL's....can't remember what the results he has had, maybe he show up here with some advice..

Will give it a go see what happens I have seen another grow in seedling stage with same bulb looked good. Do I need it to be in complete dark with only light source been CFL in a cupboard or what not or is a dark corner ok?

i reckon outside,plants don’t show down south until about start of Feb. That’s a bit of veg time.

@terrancefartbubbler when you have the light on it doesn't matter if other light gets in but when they go to sleep you don't want any light leaks at all 100% or she'll get confused. Reveg is a possibility with light leaks during her sleep period. I hope that makes sense.

Yes thanks that makes perfect sense the answer I was after

 

[Dotts]

Aren't you running the light all night for 2 or 3 wks?
then, all day outside?

..you won't have to worry about light leaks..lol

Roger dude wasn't sure if light pollution would affect it even with lights on

 

[Dotts]

Huh?
That makes no sense...

Light is light...

 

[Dotts]
