  1. can i use these for a AutoFlowering plant ? i might just grow like 2 at a time so i was thinking if i can use these if i can what brand or watts should i get ? plz help TY
     
  2. Get some T5 shop lights with vitalume high output bulbs. A 2ft 17watt vitalume bulb puts out more lumens then a 26watt cfl. The vitalume 17watt puts out 1500 lumens, a 26watt cfl puts out like 1100 lumens. You can get the shop lights that hold anywhere from 2-8 bulbs each. They work great for seedlings all the way through flowering, ofcourse you will have to switch the bulbs to the correct spectrum for flowering. There are acouple mods on this site that are growing with shop lights and they have beautiful gardens, look around and check some out to get ideas on your setup.
