Answer me this:
What kind of lights? How many watts total?
It is a total shot in the dark going by lumens.
lol i got shop lights they were cheap i think only 40w it says???? but that sounds like nothing i dunno can i grow with it?
the question is what type of light is it? Shop lights can be Halogen and that is not good for growing for example.
they are fluorescent 48" 3400lumens 40 watts 20,000 hours 3000k color temp...any good pretty much all i can get right now as i work off and on with my dad company cause im only 18 just got out of school and shit not much money right now.. :(
40 watt fluoro? uncool... unless its compressed... then u gotta tell us the mimmick..
up it.. at least 75 watt, for a seedling... thats IMO tho..
That is more of a warm bulb for flower cycle. You need 6500k for seedling and clone and veg cycle.Quote:
