Veg room lights! please quick help thanks

Hello currently the only lights i have to veg with are 30 watt 36 inch t8's 4100k light spectrum i understand this is in the middle when it comes to the amount of lumens cannabis needs in the veg stage, But what if i have multiple 30 watt 4100's? four sitting parallell down on my plants. please be quick as i need to go to lowes tonight to get bulbs. the only fixturs i have are 36 inch t8
 
I don't understand the question. If those are the only lighting option available, then you don't have a choice.
 
4X30 = 120W, a very few small plants.
How much money do you have for new lights? What's your grow area like?
Oh, sorry. That should be good for a few small plants.
I can deal with very few small plants for a few days but that really cant work for me, im looking for something to veg multiple plants to really any size i want. if i cant work with the 2 t8 fixtures with 2 30 watt bulbs in each making that 4 bulbs to have multiple large plants then i need something else. Let me know if i can somehow work with those or if i should just buy something else for veg online before i go to lowes to replace all of these bulbs fresh thanks guys
 
ill definitly have to check those out thanks, have you used these before deadgro? whats the footprint on the small one? the only reason im kind of scared of led is because of the footprint they make and i feel like plants will randomly try to flower on me even before i change cycles
I own 2 190s and 2 100s. The specs are listed on the site. I've never had any issues. They're a very popular brand.
 
No like they aernt cheap when compared to very efficient hid
HIDs are not efficient. They actually waste a lot of the energy they consume in the form of heat. They do good job not because they are efficient but because they put out a lot of light. The only real advantages they have over LED is footprint and upfront affordability.
 
They have lights that can have a veg bulb then switch to flower bulb when necessary one i saw was like 230$. Seems legit?

Spot on ^^

A lot of people on this and other forums have proven the efficiency and efficacy of LEDs.

The only reason I'd recommend HID is if someone else is blindly paying your electric bill. But that's another discussion.
