I'm not from the US my brother :(
But i can get T5's here,most kinds i think , 14, 24, ...to 80w But ill need to buy each of the lamps an independent fixture and chain em, cuz those grow fixtures are no where to be found here :X.
and cuz that shit runs pretty expensive ,My question was about the minimum wattage needed to provide with decent growth of 3 plants for 1 months period :D( a veg tent)

thanks

I have three plants in my veg tent right now under a 2ft 24w each 4 bulb t5 set up, been vegging in there for maybe 1.5-2 months now and are doing fine. That's probably the smallest I'd go for 3 plants but that's just mo
