Lights please help
    #20582883 - 09/18/14 09:26 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

7days into fruiting my monos, unfortunantly only two tubs with pins. All golden teacher. I have a quick question ( hopefully ). I am trying my two new spiral 6500k 200w eqiv bulbs. The are super bright, unfortuntly the closest I can get them to my tub is ~3 feet away , is this sufficient or should I go the extra mile to get the closer to the lights. Also is 2 cfl bulbs enough for 8 tubs?

Buy a cheap lux meter. (mine is about 15$)



Substrate surface level should get between 100-250 lux units, in nature is the average in a shady place.

This way you will know exactly how much light each tub is receiving. I've found that the transparent lid of the tubs, reduce significantly the lux units, about 100 lux units. So i had to get the light closer to the tubs.

Whatever you end up doing, observe and make adjustments as needed

7 days without pin formation isn't out of the norm, I have waited nearly two weeks before - it all depends on genetics and environmental variables.  Your lighting is going to be okay, you can initiate pinning with direct or indirect lighting - you can fine tune your method as you have a few more grows under your belt.  You may also want to look at your your FAE , if your using a monotub design make sure your polyfill is lightly stuffed and for extra air circulation you can have a fan indirectly pointed away in your closet.

Without more details on your setup thats about all I can say.

Good luck :thumbup:

I would stuff those bottom holes a little tighter, they are also drilled a bit closer than I prefer. The light is not horrible but I would like the tubs to get it a little bit more direct.

I stuffed them tighter this morning, notices small time pins in almost every tub. Hope to be harvesting within 7days(:
