    Default autoflower..

    I got a free auto flower seed, I wanna grow it separate... So I was wonder if those 3 bulb CFL lights would be enough to grow it.... I don't want to mix it with my set up because of the lighting period so I was thinking of just growing it on the side.... no experience with autos...

    No experience with autos either, sorry. But re: CFLs.. do you already have the light? Reason I ask is, I have been using some T5s for clones that I really like a lot. Bright as hell. I got them at HTG in Portland, called TEK 2 (or TEK 4 for the 4' ones). The 2' has two double bulbs, the 4' may have four not sure. You can also get two different temp bulbs, 6400 and 3000. One set comes with it (choice). The 2' price tag is around $70. I have bought a couple and also got a couple for free with the points program they have at HTG.

    Ahh, so you're familiar. Does the 4' have four bulbs? Double ones like the 2'?

    The tek four consists of four bulbs, I have the 2 ft tek four (not sure if it comes in 4 ft). And I love it, I grow autos in a box and it can get up to 85 degrees occasionally throughout the day. Puts out 220 watts and 20,000 lumens pretty impressive for t5's but be sure to have good air flow it definitely puts out some heat, so if your even questioning the heat factor I would go with the tek two or your average t5's bulbs because this fixture can get very hot.
