Lighting a seedling/clone cabinet

Discussion in 'Lighting' started by Mr. Marijuano, Apr 25, 2019.

  1. Built a seedling/clone cabinet. Approximately 2 feet tall, 2 feet wide, 16” deep. Mylar all around and a small computer fan to exhaust it. I plan to run the lights 20/4, maybe 22/2 or 24/0. I will put my 20x10x9 humidity dome in the cabinet, and maybe a small plant or 2 that are larger than the dome but too small for the veg area.

    Now, the lights. I purchased what appears to be off brand qb 96’s from eBay.

    Since it’s such a small space, I’m thinking a single board at 25 watts should be sufficient, maybe even overkill. Maybe I will just mount them both and run at 15 watts a piece? What sort of par levels should I expect from these at 10-18” from canopy? Obviously I don’t need much.

    Thoughts? Input?

    @Tbone Shuffle and anyone else that has experience with these boards or this type of set up.
     
  2. A pair at 15 watts each will do great I think. For Veg and clone anyways.
