Hi Guys,
I'm about to start my first ever grow and this site has been fantastic for my research/info. I'd be lost without it so i had to join and make a new thread. I have a 80x80x100 room and gonna have 2 plants in there. I'm using a 125w cfl lamp and have a 6500k for veg then a 2700k for flower. Gonna go and get a light airy soil, nutrients and root stimulator's tomorrow from my local hydro shop (any recommendations for the UK welcome as there are so many to choose from???)
I have a couple of questions-
The main question I have is I have read that I start the lights at about 60 cm/24 inches high then drop to 30 cm/12 inches at 3 weeks ish.
Is this the case for cfl's as well and at what point do I drop it again as I was led to believe that I can have it as close as 2/3 inches away??? so at what point do I drop again or am I wrong?
Also when do I know when it is in flower and therefore when do I change nutrients and the lamp from blue to red?
Many many thanks in advance for any responses
