for 2 plants, you could get away with a 250 hps. If you really want to do fluorescent, then go with some good T5s...but they are a bit pricier.

Entry #5: Upgrading My Reservoir So, its been roughly 12ish days since I brought home my 3 Big Bud clones. They looked kind of sick when I got them, but I have been slowly nursing them back to health. Today, I completed step 1 of my reservoir upgrade (see photos). I removed my 3 5-gallon...

Entry #4: Troubled Waters So, I started my grow about 10 days ago, and immediately started having problems w/ my reservoir temp. The first night I put the buckets under the light, the temperature got very high, up to around 28-30 degrees centigrade. I quickly took steps to lower the...

Entry #3: Testing the Waters... Ok, so now that I've gone on my diatribe about why T5's rock, let's talk Hydroponics. I've had limited experience w/ hydro before. I've checked out some of my friends' hydro set ups, and used to grow out of a pre-fab hydro set up I bought from Sunlight Sheds...

Entry #2: Going Towards The White Lights... Ok, so I'm back with the second installment. So after doing a bit of research, I had an idea. Basically, I decided I wanted to grow hydroponically, using only T5 lights (hence the name of the Journal). Now, before someone calls me crazy, hear me...

So, I'll soon be flowering with a t5 myself, I got a fairly high-end one (see below) and figured that I could use 3000k bulbs to flower 6 1- month old plants. Thoughts?

Apologies, beginner's mistake. Thank you very much for the advice though.

Hey, so I have a similar question as the first guy. I've constructed a 6' tall 6' long 3' wide grow cabinet (see attached), and am planning on growing 6 plants. I'll be doing roughly 4-5 week veg cycles, and I'll be using 6 5-gallon buckets using the dwc method (again, see attached). The...
