so onto my question. would this be a good system for veg and bloom? for i have a VERY small budget

alright then that'll be it for now. please lemme know your opinion thanks!

Yes you can use that flourescent system to grow. Not many plants but a couple. Your gonna need to get 2 different sets of spectrum bulbs. I noticed while I was looking at the system it gives you 2 different options for lights. It says bloom, and grow. Your gonna need both, a green/blue spectrum for veg, and a orange/red spectrum bulb for flowering.

thanks for the input! and yeah i'm planning on getting the 4 veg bulbs and 4 bloom bulbs (additional 15 bucks for the bloom bulbs). and i was wondering whats the max number of plants i could put under the 4 bulb 4' flouros? i'm planning on just having large harvests a couple times a year. i smoke alot and i because i have alot of body pain and anxiety. i just alot to last me till next harvest. i wanna squeeze the most out of this, input would be great!

I would figure on 8,000 lumens a plant. But that's from my CFL experience, not tubes.

mmmm, yes. i don't plan on getting this system anymore, i'm going to order 2 units (2ft bulbs). they put out virtually no heat.

ill just chime in with my thoughts here, i have a New Wave 2ft 4 lamp T5 and while its heat output is considerably less than the 8 cfl lights i was using, it still kicks off enough to heat your grow room. its low heat output for sure, but the boast of no heat output is just not true.
