Seed starting question for anyone:
I have one grow light (2 bulbs in a 48” reflecting shop light) over an old table in the basement. I have no access to the two sunny windows in my house.
How can I keep the grow-light close enough to the seedlings, when they grow at different rates, and are planted at different times?
FanFan, (I’m new at least so.....) I would just focus on the taller of the bunch, they say you can keep them 2” away from most seedlings.
I’m planning on using jack chain attached to ceiling hooks and shortening the chains with zip ties as I go.
I just picked up full spectrum 4’ T8s lamps @ Home Depot and changed my ballast for T8s, I’m an electrician so that part was easy, just hoping the full spectrum lamps will work - they’re certainly bright enough!
I really don't have a good answer for that one, fanfan. Think what I would do is try to group the seedlings into 2 heights and put them under the light for 12-hour shifts, and adjust the light for the other group. Might be able to do three 8-hours. You can always keep the shorter ones around when lighting the taller group(s).
