Keeping Mother Plants

[Dunk73]

What is the lowest lighting level you can keep a mother plant in? At the moment i use a 350w cfl on for 18 hours a day.

How low can you go , a 16 W CFL will keep them alive barely .
Never heard of 350W CFL , Are they new or are you adding all the watt's together as that's wrong , even if it's 600W and you have a hundred 600W ' output will never be more than 600W , 95th lumens , or 105th DHID

Sorry my mistake, it is a 300w cfl.

Nae bother , still didn't know they did a 300 , thought 250 was the biggest thank's . In the blue that'll do the job nicely

Alright silly question,

but is it possible to keep a mother plant in amongst all your other plants or does it hav to be in a seperate place altogether?

Thanks

When you switch your other plants to flower you can't keep your mother there. But you can keep it with them while there under 18 hours light
