Hey folks.
In the middle of a pheno hunt and I'm running out of lighting options. I have a spare t2 that I used to use for a zen garden. Will a t2 be enough to germinate approximately 50 seeds? It is HO and daylight spectrum. Thanks for input.

Maybe you mean T12 ..? they came out in the 1930's as a florescent tube maybe 3-5 feet long and hang by chains in you closet ...it will be fine!!! BUT!

You will need to check the ballast of these older lights as if it is wrapped in black tar paper it will need replacing, old ballasts are lethal, and will poison you with PCP's
it will be a quick 5 minute job to replace or use a 24watt CFL, light is not the issue with germing ....but a nice temp (65-75f) is

T-2 is the compact fluorescent style 1/4" tube.
