Do you think 2 of these + 2 23w 24inch strips will be enough for 6 plants?
My opinion, no it's not enough. I use 3 banks of 2 40W tubes each for a total of 240W and it's only good enough to root clones and maybe a couple weeks beyond before penetration is all but totally nil. And 24" of bulb won't be long enough to handle that many in on such a skinny line so if you MUST go with those lights get 6-8 or one for each plant. Or save some money and buy the standard shop-light kits. They run about 12 bucks for each bank of two 24" tubes (be sure to get the 'pig tails' as they're usually sold separately). You'll still need at least four but should be cheaper than that new flouro bulb that has yet to be tested for cannabis grows. And you're probably looking for sure-fire success the 1st time out!
madeline Reviewed by madeline on . My 1st Attempt at Growing. Just for fun, I germed a bagseed I had that looked healthy.. Got a nice sprout in about 2 days using the paper towel method. Planted it in *DUN DUN DUN* miracle grow (I know, it probably won't even make it to nodes, right?) just to see if it would work. I currently have 5 more seeds in germ, and am going to make a run to home depot for some decent soil (seed starting scotts brand) on my way to the marley concert tomorrow. but anyways here's a couple pics of first sign of life on day 3 Rating: 5
