Hi all.....I hope I'm posting in the correct forum.
I'm wanting to know if I have the correct lights for vegging.....or maybe I'll need adjustments?
T4s?....are the lights in question...I will elaborate.
I bought some shop lights....two tubes in a very reflective box...ideal I thought.....I bought two of them.
They are 24 w cool tubes I think.
Is this going to be enough?
They do seem a little dim........
I didn't realise they were T4.'s..I was originally going to buy a bank of four T5s.......Do my cloning and seedlings under the fluresents....for a few weeks then, I'd put them under my 600w hps for flowering.
Thought I found a bargin..Hmmmmm.....so I'm a little perplexed as to what to do and which way to go.
My options...stick with the T4's.....(I'm sure they will be fine for cloning, maybe better as the clones do not need intense lighting, I normally shade)...as they will do the job fine........but what about getting them 'beefed' up ready to go under the 600w hps?
Will I need an intermidery stage......of needing to put them under T5's?...........or will they go straight under my 600w hps.........
Or should I get another ballast for my spare 600w hps....and use that inconjunction with the T4's?
Hmmmmm....I hope some friendly folk can help me unravel my conundrum.
