So this is where im vegging. Its Fluorescents and Cfl's. I know its probably not enought but its a small area with room for more lights and upward expansion. I plan on growing to 19'' Then flowering under a HPS in a seperate area. If i get a MH/HPS I'll be vegging under the MH bulb, and Flowering under HPS. But im kinda poor. Its running 20hr on 4hr off, with the fan constant. Im fertilizing with Fox Farm Top Dressing 5-5-5 monthly, but its only had one treatment. Filtered water is all they get and that will soon be aerated. How am i doing, i know my tomatoes are in the way but it looks super healty and has thick dark green leafs.HELP !!! ALL THE ADVICE is NEEDED I NEEED HEELP>!!!

That many flouros should be fine... I mean honestly most people go overboard on vegging plants, its flowering that requires the lumens. I can veg a single plant with no more than 30 Watts of a CFL. The key is keeping it so close that the Flourescent light can't disperse before it hits the leaves and keeping it far enough away to not burn the foliage. I keep my plants within 1-1.5 inches away and I have good luck with close nodes and minimal stretching, my current plant is 15 days old, has 5 sets of leaves already and is only about 5 inches tall, the leaves are overlapping and touching, usually you need an HPS for these results but if you get it right you can do just fine with flourescents... Just some thoughts
