I am building a grow box for clone and 2 mom , the box is something like
4' x 3' . what would be the best light i can get for that? the sale guy say 400mh but i am worry about heat, right now my clone are in my grow room under a 1000 hps but hell i cant keep them humidified so i want a box just for them.
The box will be in my basement, smell wont be an issue since it only for clone and 2 small mom , i can leave the box open a bit if needed. So should i go with that 400 mh or is it overkill?
A few cheap 4 foot shoplights with inexpensive cool-white tubes work fine for clones, the light is gentle. T-12 works T-8 if you find them is more effecient, t-5 rules but are expensive.
Don't need too much light for the mothers either since you don't want them to grow too quickly, unless you are doing a HUGE grow.
Keep a fan blowing so that the plants don't burn if they grow up into the tubes, and don't let them touch the tubes at all with the t-5 tubes.
I use 2 dome that can hold 75 clone each so the 2 mom need to grow as fast as possible so i dont think t12 will be enough. And the ligh will be on 24/0
1st get them out from under the 1000w before you cook them. 2nd if your worried about heat then build to use CFL's. 3rd for more info on subjevt without waiting for answer type in search at top of page cause I know I have read this type of question about 20+ times in the last year :jointsmile:
flourescents boss
:rastasmoke:
1st :You already answer half my question, 1000 will cook them
2nd :I dont mind a litle heat i just dont want to cook them, so what is the max i can use for clone and get maximum result with the 2 mom.
3rd :Change your avatar dude.
:wtf: Interesting attitude for someone looking for help.
