This might be a stupid question but i totally forgot i had some T5 high output fluorescent lights i used to grow coral with. Can i use this for my weed plants as well? If so what exactly do i have here output wise? How many could this light handle? Any input is appreciated ... The 4 bulbs says Sea World T5 HO 24w 12,000K

Is that 24 a peice is so you have about 100w you could grow a single plant under that with some lst you could get a half decent yield if everythi g else is spot on and you can add more lights as you prorgress

Yea 2 of the bulbs are accentic or something (there blue) . Ive only got 2 seedlings atm and ive had them under 100w LED. When they get a little older would it hurt to combine LED & t5?

No not all combo would be good you could even throw in a couple household cfl bulbs once you start flowering for added side lighting, a combination of spectrum and type of lighting will produce some quality bud, your yield may not be anything spectacular but youll get some killer bud to smoke
