If t-12s are all you can do at this time , then go for it.They'll grow and flower the plant , and hold down electric bills ,but they seriously lack the lumens needed for maximum growth.If this is your first grow , then by all means ,just use those for a learning experience.LEDs are a new technology that has very little middle ground opinionwise it seems.Grow your first under T-12s ,then , if you feel like stepping up to the next level , then try HIDs.Small steps often lead to larger strides .
Deejay2163 Reviewed by Deejay2163 on . T12 fixtures. Hello all, I'm brand new to this site and to growing. I have 4 new seedlings that are about 5 days old. I'm in the process of building my grow and flowering DWC space. I already have two dual bulb T12 florescent fixtures. Will T12 grow and flowering lights work for a small setup? Or, should I buy T5s fixtures. What about LEDs ? I'm flooded with so much info from both sides I thought I would ask people who actually have experience and are not trying to sell me something.
