Hi there, Started my first grow a few days ago. Here's what I've got. Strain: Nirvana Auto Blue Mystic (6 seeds) Ventilation: 2-Cooler Master 80mm Dual Ball Bearing Fans (one at the top, one at the bottom) Lighting: 4 bulbs inside this T5 lighting system. 2 warm, 2 cool bulbs Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora Series Water: ...tap water? I have 6 seeds. I germinated all 6 of them 3 days ago. They are sitting under the light, in a pyramid pattern. Okay, so I have TWO PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS... 1) I am worried that I dont have enough room under my light to grow all 6 plants! The light is only 2 feet long, it has 4 bulbs. What should I do? I want to grow all 6 plants. I don't really want to buy another lighting fixture. How should I handle this? 2) Is there anything else I am forgetting? I really want to have a successful first grow Thank you all
You are correct, the 2ft T5 is the germing lamp, largely replaced by cfl's these days, theres just not enough lumens in these 2 footers, get the 4 ft 6-8 tube T5 at 54w per tube http://www.amazon.com/Lamps-Fluorescent-Light-3000K-6500K/dp/B00AR5JV76/ref=sr_1_4?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1379543319&sr=1-4&keywords=4%27+4+Lamps+T5+HO+Fluorescent+Grow+Light+3000K+6500K ....is ideal tho you can spit another $75.00 and get another 2ft t5 rack, but Id go the T5 above,use your current lite as supplementary ...its all in the lumens or this http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-Dimmable-Detachable-Reflector/dp/B00547I5I8/ref=pd_sbs_lg_6 does veg and bid...?
Okay so if I was to invest in one light. Anything 100$ and under. What would you recommend? I'll just return the 2ft lights I have and get something else. Would you recommend an HPS or a T5 or maybe something else? Sent from my Desire HD using Grasscity Forum mobile app
