I want to buy an 18 Watt T8 Light

[yellowthumb]

I have spent to much on seeds that didn't last bec of many reasons as I'm learning to grow.
MY Question to anyone is will this light due for 5 plants?

I'm a bit of a noob at growing too...which is why I got tired of just trying to grow from seeds gleaned from various bags bought over the years and we invested in some autoflowering cannabis seeds. But, one thing I have learned is the more light the merrier. Right now me hubby and I are low budget, (fixed income)...but we got 6 12 watt LED grow lights and one 36 watt bloom spectrum bulb of a different sort...not LED. It's what we have on hand and all our plants seem to be doing beautifully. I have no idea if the set up you're looking at will do for 5 plants...but we have 3 going and the lights we're using seem to be working well.

at 18 watts, I don't see how it could grow anything

what do you suggest ?

well, almost everything is dependent on what you want to spend
600HID is probably the most cost effective way to go
but for 5 plants you might be thin
LED can be done fairly cheaply relatively speaking if you DIY
