What kind of 150 watt bulb are you using successfully?I have a single 150 watt for my veg tent. At 30 inches away while germinating.
You want a full spectrum natural light not a blurple for veg or flowering! Like Aqua Man said they don't need much. Just some moisture and a little light. They will do their thing, don't give up!What kind of 150 watt bulb are you using successfully?
Yea, that's my thought also. Unfortunately the wealth of light knowledge on the internet seems to be in inch's from plant, Umol's, ppfd's, or watts and I am just another slightly dumb farmer. I found a lux range from 4000-6000 recommended for seedlings and went with that. I have come to the conclusion my full spectrum LED's are still to much at that level and am going to try way lower on the next seedling victims.It looks like you may actually be bleaching your seedling with your light

Thanks, I am off to Amazon for some T5 lights. Any idea of the spectrum of light you use successfully?I agree, I use t-5 4' bulbs for seedlings and keep them about 2-3" off of the tops of them, they work great. They are fairly intense close to the bulb but intensity drops fast as you move away.

I believe they are 5k spectrum. Sun Blaster with the nano reflectors are the ones I use. Had great luck with them over the years for seedlings and fish tank lighting.
I run 2 4' bulbs. But would need more bulbs if you want to veg under them
Thanks, your thoughts and time are appreciated.
Thanks again, I am not giving up. Persistence is something us slow learners acquire over time, and the budget has a lot of room left for more toys.No problem dude! Don't give up its all a learning experience! I think the bulbs are 6400k looking at them
