    Hello all,
    Outdoor season is almost upon us and I have a question regarding sufficient lighting for headstarting my seeds/seedlings. This year I would like to give my seedlings a longer headstart time before transplanting outdoors. I am poor and cannot afford a $100+ grow light but I figure because I only need it for seedling and beginning vegetative stage that I should be alright. I have a small space (dimensions above) that would suffice for the beginning stages. I heard that the "Sun-Blaster T5HO" light is good for the vegetative stage and am curious if that alone would work or should I buy another and have two to mitigate the risk? The fixtures come with reflectors and I will be lining the inside of the grow space with Mylar. These lights are around $40.00 so it would be awesome if I could only use one for the first 3 weeks of growth.... really don't want stretched plants this year, especially because I will be attempting some HST before SCROG-ing.
    Thanks,
    GrassyBowl
