Default How many lights should I use for 2 plants?
Just wondering what two plants or so should have, I want them to be very healthy but I dont intend to spend much money on new lights. Can I use my usual 50 watt flourescent lights? or what wattage/type should i have?

Thanks.

CFls are cheaper then flouros and work better for veg! Four 100w CFLs use 92 watts and would be plenty for two plants.

These are pics of what my setup will be, I need to take some time organizing it but sadly this is a sneaky setup i will be attempting.

area will probably be less than 2.5 feet sq

also is there a place where I can get a checklist for materials for an indoor grow? I need to take a field trip to my local Agway and get some materials.

I dont have my main seeds yet, just test ones i dug outta a mid bag

Is that the type of bulb I want? both are the same type as the pictured.

Hey, my flourescents are only 14 watts, but claim to get 60 watts of light. Does this mean they get like 4000 lumens each?

3 or 4, four foot gro lux bulbs in shop light fixtures and move up to a 400 or 600 watt HPS to flower. It is an awesome combination that will give far out results. If you are tight on money you could get by with the $20 HPS 150 watt special but you'd be better off with a 400 watt system.

no, that's their equivalents to the light a 60 watt incandescent light would give.

1 500wt hps should do good if your going to want to save money and get a good harvest.
