My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Too much time under fluorescents?

18 years ago

Anyone got good advice on how to determine when a plant is near its limit on time under your average fluorecent lights? (specifically, 2-bulb T8 32W 5000K)

Started some tomato and cucumber seeds (receiving 24hours of light per day), that I will be transplanting to a MH+HPS setting, and want to avoid leaving them under the fluorescents too long - but want to make sure they're ready for the MH bulb.
