Finally got a second grow light (led).



Can you link those lights? I found some walmart flourescent lights 6500k 5000 lumens that are like $18. 4ft long
Gary Pilarchik uses them and said they are all you need.

I used a pair of those last season. They did quite well. I kept them 3" above the plants and they outgrew my area almost before it was time to put them in the ground.

I took Gary's advice last year for my first time growing seeds and regretted it.

I recommend spending more $$ and buying something that will put out more lux. I put a link earlier in this thread, $40 light on amazon. Might need a couple if you're growing more than like 12 plants.

Finally found what I bought on Amazon.

One of the reviews said they got 18,000 lux @ 6 inches.
