Can my plants grow under this light? i left my baby plant under it for 6 hours and didnt see any progress. how far should i put it from my plant. Help ASAP please

 

[alwaystoned_1]

it will work just get it close as possible without burning your plant you wont be able to see the difference a plant grows in 6 hours

Flouro tubes ? You can prob veg 3 or 4 under them since they are 4footers. Get them really close to the bulbs. How far along is the plant ? This light will not cut it forever

i have 3 baby plants in cups under it. about 6 in away from plant

Get em closer and put a fan blowing air to them, but not too close that its blowing them over.If they are still in solo cups you can get up to like 20 under that light lol. You will need more wattage when they get bigger

If i get a new light what would you prefer i get a metal h. or a hps? what is the difference. the best for veg. growth? watt?

no offense grasshopper but your question illustrates how little actual research you've done for yourself.

first, asking over-simple questions will irritate anyone with experience because it shows how little effort you're willing to put into your own grow.

second, asking questions and then sitting around waiting for answers can be awfully boring.

try and remember that some people have been growing for decades so maybe, just maybe, these simple questions have been asked and answered already and if you actually go hunting, you may find the answers you seek on your own rather than waiting for someone to take pity on you and spoon-feed you the answers.

if you do that one of the ancillary benefits is respect, for yourself, and from us.

peace, and stay safe, SOG

Any noob would do well to follow this advice:

Go to a section of the forums that are likely to contain information that you lack.

You can go to the lighting section, the grow-room section, the hydro section, the outdoor section, etc... and then you can sort the posts there by number of views.

If you go to one of the threads with hundreds of posts and thousands of views, you are going to read many, many opinions and you are going to have the facts hammered home (and debated) many, many times. Reading these threads for a few hours a week will get your theoretical education up to speed in a few months time.
