Hey all, I have some Lowryder 2 fem seeds which I'm gonna plant out next month, now I know I should start them off indoors for about a week first, I have a desklamp with a 100w energy saver bulb in (18w rated), would this be ok to put over them for a week?

thanks

Is that the desklamps that have the adjustable metal arm with the tube energy saver bulbs?, if it is then that's the same ones i use thumbsup.gif , they're great for the first 12-14 days of the seedlings life then i put them under the MH, Baz yinyang.gif

No its a standard desk lamp with one of these in;



would this be ok?


im also a bit confused by the fact that it says 18w and 100w on the packet?

It's 18 real Watts of fluorescent light, which they're saying is equivalent in brightness to a 100W incandescent lamp. thumbsup.gif

You will need one of them for each seed.
