  2. Its the colour spectrum that counts mate... i would say no they wont grow a thing ...
     
  3. What would be some good light bulbs I can get
     
  4. By all means try em you might get lucky.... but ya want fluorescent t5 or cfl.. cfl are pretty cheap
     
  5. Just seen this on the box it says 5000k

  6. Daylight is about 5500k so theyare in the middle the lumens are very low a single cfl is norm triple that 6.5k is best for veg... but give it a go m8
     
  7. Ur not as far off the mark as i thought u would be
     
  8. What are my chances of success I don't want to waste time
    I have about 6800 lumens with all 4 bulbs going
     
  9. Theyre weak lights. Dont expect much
     
  10. I used those to start. The plants didn't grow very fast and are probably stunted but it's bagseed and my first grow so Make sure it's pretty close to your plants or they are going to stretch like crazy.

  14. No no and more no! It will be a complete waste of time!

    Really, nearly 2018 and were still suggesting t5's and CFL!?! LOL

    This, minimum stater should go with Mars or VIPARSPECTRA. Plenty of starter grow journels on here to read along and have a look.

  16. M8 with all due respect big big big horticultural organisations have not made any move towards L.E.D... GAVITA are still the industry standard.. as is t5. Universities and attraction size gardens are still hps.
    So keep laughing...

    L.E.D. have yet to be proven! Thats a fact
