what is the best type/watt of lighting for veging seedlings? I currently have them under 20w multi spec flouro and a 26w cfl. its working out pretty well but id like to see what you guys are using.
 
Well I have about 300w of cool tubes for my mothers and clones. I don't veg very long or I would use the MH bulb, but I would rather have my two 400w HPS flower chambers.
 
well it's for my mothers & clones, all one area really and that's the only veg they get. The area is 4x3x3 and tubes are on all sides (except door). like I said it's mainly cool blue tubes, but I also have 2 42w cfls in there as well. it's actually exactly 300w (4(80w)+4(14w)+2(42w)).

blinkykush, temps could be better, high around 84ºF though so it's not killer. I'm upgrading my ventilation system into my a/c as soon as current ladies finish in a couple weeks.
 
yeah i was in a temp battle for awhile, then i just added a 6'' inline fan intake boost, brings in my house AC which is always 70 degrees;-).... It fixed things with my t5. when i add my 400 hps and 250 hps is a different story. I plan to exaust and air cool the 2 hoods through the attic thus not to effect my ambient grow room temp... so we will see here is my room now:-) if ya guys care to look........... but royal if you can swing a couple of t5's they are working really well for me you can price them here T5 Fluorescent & HID Grow Lights for Plants from ACF Greenhouses
