Your lights are ok vertical. The larger folded tube designs give better light on the horizontal, but the spirals have the best pattern vertically. You should get some reflectors or hoods, though.
See this in the "lighting" section of a horizontal desk lamp cfl vs. the vertical hooded cfl.

Appreciated the reply but can anyone answer my questions please ?

 

[TxOld Dude]

From what I've read about autos, I don't think it matters. They flower either way. That's the Ruderalis in them. One can always change the timer...

Okay that is one thing not to worry about but any answers to the question asked about the nutes ?

 

[stylez]

the back of your bottle of nutes should tell you the amount to use per liter or gallon. That will tell you full strength, but with autos you wanna do only about 1/4 of that amount. Hope this helps. It is also best for the plants to be in complete darkness during the dark time

Okay that is one thing not to worry about but any answers to the question asked about the nutes ?

One love and happy growing:smokebuds:

Can you check out the photo of the fertilizer and tell me how much i should put for 1/4 in a 1.5 litre of bottle and also is feeding the same as watering ? Do i feed like how i water(water till run off at the bottom) ? I am confused because the fertilizers shows different quantity for different plants like Cactus/Bonsai/Orchid/Houseplant/Flower tree and many more. Please help me guys, i have never fed before so i don't want to overdose my plants

To answer your question about feeding, yes it is the same as watering:thumbs: your just adding nutrients to the water and mixing it together, then water the soil:smokebuds:

So normally i will water till run off and if i'm feeding i can water till run off at the bottom too ? That clears alot of my worries mate, thanks ! Sorry i think the picture was pretty blur, there was japanese and english words. I will write it down and can you advise how much ml to put in a 1.5 litre of bottle ? Here it goes :

Flower tree/fruit tree/lawn - 40ml per 10 litre

Vegetables/Rose/House plant - 20ml per 10 litre

Orchid/Bulb/Herb - 10ml per 10 litre

Cactus/Bonsai/Small seedling - 5ml per 10 litre

So how much do i add for a 1.5 litre bottle ? How long can i keep that mix ? And also can i use that some bottle that i used for feeding to water my plants with pure water (Rinsing the inside and then filling it with pure water) or should i have 2 bottles ? Thanks for the help guys !

OK, I'll bite, but I'm layin' a disclaimer...!!

What is it day18 or so? Ok, These plants are not adults YET, so go with the "seedling" measure.
Now follow along here...
If seedling = 5ml product per 10L water then...
10L (measurement standard unit) / 1.5L (your measuring unit) = 6.67 (conversion factor)
then 5ml/6.67 = 0.75ml of product per 1.5L *AT THE STANDARD RATE FOR SEEDLINGS
Remember to divide again by 1/4th because your using herb autos (NOT houseplants) which equals around 0.15 or 0.175ml per 1.5L at the SEEDLING rate.

It works the same for the rest. Divide the standard measure by the one you're using and take that number and divide the product amount as well.
10L/1.5L = 6.67 then 5ml/6.67 = 0.75

After seedling use the "Herb" rate. Better to go light and refeed than to burn it.

Hope that helps...owwwWWWWWCCCH!!!!

Sorry...brain cramp.

Hey TX, i plan to feed it during week 5 or week 6 so by then i should be using the "Herb" rate ? So i stay at the "Herb" rate all the way ? How about the other questions ?

How long can i keep that mix ? And also can i use that some bottle that i used for feeding to water my plants with pure water (Rinsing the inside and then filling it with pure water) or should i have 2 bottles ?

Thank you for that helpful post !
