Hey guys whats up? Ive been thinkin about getting a new micro grow going for awhile now i've done one other grow in the past but it was just one plant. This time im wanting to grow 2plant using one of those rubbermaid containers as my grow cab. My question to you guys is will
4x 26Watt 2700k
2x 23Watt 5000k
1x 26Watt 3500k
176 Watts total .
Would that be enough lighting to take them through their whole life veg & bud cycle ? bongsmilie

yes it will be enough IMO. it seems you have the proper kelvin for both veg and flowering, the only issues you may run into is low yeild. basically, you can fully grow plants as long as you have the correct spectrum; it seems that the more lumens you have for the spectrum you need will determine the amount of dry weight you get. so as long as you open the plans up to recieve the lighting they will flourish. you will have small plants with small buds; and if your serious about growing these you will naturally upgrade to better lighting in time so you might as well get it now! lol, just my 2cents.

I agree, you can find used hid or flouro kits...if youre looking at growing is such tight quarters i have heard good reviews from the LED lights.

i started my current grow under LEDs and then switched them to t5 HO and the difference was unbeleivable. ill never go back to leds again.

I havent personally used them but i have heard from some of them that they work, you have to make sure to get the good ones, not the cheap china made ones.
