Is this possible?

I have a spare closet 1100mm x 500mm x 1600mm. Can be closed off and close to window. My question is,can i buy one light good for both veg and flower that will supplement my autos growing in pots in supa soil outside. I understand whole concept of autos verse photos,just trying to get best veg growth on a budget. Could anyone recommend a good cheap light that multitasks and won't need any ventilation besides a sm deskfan, or is this a newbie pipedream. Only wanna grow 4 plants. I'm sure of getting lots of laughs out there but really don't have a clue when lights are involved. Much respect

Some T5 fluoros should do.

Im guessing u will use daylight in the day and artificial at night?

Also have a look in the stealth, cabinet grow sections. Good luck.

Will they be ok to use through flowers as well?. Realize don't have to worry bout 12/12 with autos

Nice 315W ceramic would work fine in that space and flower them nice. Do a lot better than T-5s for yield too.

Cob led 49k lumens 200w

Just looked at the dimensions again and it's pretty narrow so T-5s might work better. Especially the ones from Hortilux. Some great looking tubes there.

You asked in another thread about what to use for reflective material for your T-5s. Tinfoil would work fine tho a lot of folks don't like it as they think it will create hot spots and burn your plants. While this is true for HID lights, fluoros don't have enough intensity to cause this problem. Mirrors are quite a bit less reflective than foil because the light has to pass through a thin layer of glass to hit the reflective surface then again to get to your plants. With foil it just bounces off the surface. Mylar would work good as well and is a bit more reflective than foil.

Hows it going,hope i got thread right this time. As promised a couple of pics of little fellas 10 days old,seem to be going ok,just a bit dubious bout what to give em for first feed. Put them in soil with heaps of compost so should be ok for little while, 58% humidity and 21.7 temp, Any ideas? not very good pics,hopefully you can see whats going on. regards robert
