t-5 t-8 and t-12 Lighting Discussion
Hey Guys, I Have three different lighting setups and i am trying to figure out how to use them.
In my Grow Tent I have a 600w HPS Light. This tent will eventually become just My Flowering tent. I also have Hydrofarm Flourowing 125w CFL 5600k Light that i am using for germination and Veg Growth.
And I recently aquired 2 48" t-12 Bulbs that are Growing bulbs. I know t-8 and t-5 are both better. but this being my first grow my money is limited. I have read that basically all the t-12 lighting is good for is germination up to the start of vegging. Is this true?
Should I set it up like this:
t-12 Lights for Cloning/germination/ seedling tray
125w CFL 5600k Flourowing for My Vegging plants outside of the tent.
600w HPS For flowering/Finishing up Vegging
Would this be the best setup i can do for now?
In the future i would just liek to use the 125w CFL for seedling/cloning/germination, Use my 600w ballast and get a 400w or 600w MEtal Halide Bulb for Vegging, and buy a 1000w ballast and bulb for my flowering room. Would this be a good place to aim for?
