no! get rid of it for now, save it for flower (if it's uvb; if so, you can use it as a supplemental)

for veg, the cheap fix is to go to lowes or equivalent and get a double 48" flourecent fixture, and two ge daylight bulbs. these are great becuase the plants can touch the light!

cfl's or hps for flower

3000 lumens a square foot is for great growing, 1000 is minimal. You want to get larger wattages to get light penetration. Here is a little link on lighting:

Chapter 8 - LIGHT

What kind of grow area are you using? (closet? measurements?)

[ballastman]

The way I learned is you want 50 watts per sq.ft,especially to flower with.For example an 8 by 8 room approx 64 sq ft would require 3K in HID lighting(perfect for 60 sq ft actually).I guess its beneficial to know both formulas

[budkilla420]

the closet is only 2x6' how many lights do I use?:rasta:

the bulbs i shoed you are approx 13000 lumens, i would recomend you to use about 4 to 6 of them in the room you are useing. . .i would think 4would do you just fine. have u started growing yet??? you should get some pix on here.

good luck!
