Well related to nutrients i'll use TaNg's AN feeding schedule.

If I can sqweez some gold ill buy b2x3 if not Ill stick to b2x2 for now. Since it will be my first grow, I guess I can test with it a little.

Good choice, stick with the B2x2 and use the extra cash to get a red cfl to stick in later on for flowering. You'll be able to use both next grow along with your shiny new GN unit

Hi AFN, rookie mistake as I didn't think about seedlings until now. A Mars 11 1200 is overkill for my babies I'm guessing they popped this morning yet i cant get another light right now. My question is,would the window ledge do until they get a little stronger or any other ideas, cant wait to get them under this led.
Thanks in advance

hang the the light as high as possible or you could angle the light onto the wall of the room to deflect an decrease the intensity of the light.

I just had the same problem with mine, too much light for a seedling and no amount of magnecal could stop the leaves getting shredded at a cellular level.

How tall is your tent/grow space? Mine's only 1.5m but if you can get that light of yours right at the top of a 2m+ space you'd be good to go and your seedlings will love it!

Edit: Every time you can guarantee TaNg has written a shorter answer while I'm typing :slaps:

Hi Bilbo, Height is only 160 top to bottom so I'm gonna struggle in a space of only 170 x 100 with two ww plants, I hope anyway.

To my previous question: is this better then the b2x2 Vipar? ---> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VIPAR-V30...Bottle_Warmers_Coolers_LE&hash=item27daf653c4

I use that panel for vegging, the B2x2 is a better model for whole grow use.

What TaNg said then, just bounce it off the walls until they are big enough to handle the direct light
