Advise on Clone Lighting For First Time Cloner
Hi, This is my first post here.
We are going to be cloning for the first time and would like some advice.
My friend has a lighting fixture that holds 16 T5 36 watt bulbs.
It is a Pentron 3500k KP35-835-800.
We have gutted an old RV and will be doing the clones inside.
The total watts would be 36 watts x 16 bulbs = 576 watts.
Will this work for the clones? I think it may be too much light for them.
I appreciate your help.

To clone you don't need much light, but I do like It 24/7 till rooted. My 3x2 clone spot
I use the under the counter fluorescence(from wally world/cheap) and just 3 of themAttachment 296604 there's close to a hundred there.
You'll need the light later tho. Use a new razor blade each session, no scissors!!

I use 216 watts of T5HO lamps. It covers a 2' x 4' area easily.

Thank you for your replies. Yes, we are low tech too. It does sound like the fixture we have may be too much for our 10' x 4' space. 16 bulbs at 36 watts each is 576 watts. Maybe if we cut it down to 8 bulbs for 288 watts? Will that be too much for the clones?
