Beginning your new indoor gardening passion is definitely an exciting activity and you’re probably looking forward to nurturing your green friends as if they were little kids. Installing a CFL grow light bulb has the main advantage of allowing the user to plug straight into conventional plug sockets, eliminating the need for something extra.
You should aim to place your CFLs in such a way as to emit light on the bulb from all around it. Place some “cool white” bulbs, around 6500 Kelvins, in easy-to-adjust light fixtures, ideally with a reflector. Another advantage of these products is that they won’t get hot enough to burn the plants so you can adjust them between two to six inches from each one.
During the vegetative phase, your buddies require about 18 hours of light per day while the next phase, the flowering, lowers that amount to somewhere around 12 hours. Aim to switch the lights on and off at the same time every day for maximum consistency.
